Linux leaders plot counterattack on Microsoft

^^^^ Computer hardware in the current market = PC, Mac, X86 Workstations. Windows works on all.

Server are not consumer grade computers

Clusters are also not consumer grade computers.

I hope u know what consumer level computer (me & u) & server level computer (Deep) means. Tell me, who buys server for home use?

PPC hadware, though limited in availability and use, still constitutes the term computer hardware. So, only Linux can run on all possible computer hardware available for money to buy.

Even by your own definition of computer hardware, Linux still runs on all such hardware. It also runs on Playstation 3, which is a gaming system.

Anyways, I'd rather not spend my time on defining what computer hardware means, especially since I'm not gaining anything, either monetarily or intellectually, through such a discussion.

Oh, and by the way, I am not a computer, either consumer level or otherwise.

PPC hardware is available only for servers. We are not talking about servers in this thread.

PPC hardware is also available in old Apple computer but is discontinued. We are talking about what is available today.

It also runs on Playstation 3, which is a gaming system.

Playstation is not a computer. If Microsoft modifies & compile Windows, then even Windows can run on PS3. By this logic we should assume that XBOX 360 is running Windows Vista.

Apple challenged the Windows community to run Windows XP (BIOS) on Mactel (EFI). It was ported in less then 1 month. Boot Camp was released cos now the method was out there for anyone to run Windows on Mac so why should Apple leave a USP to sale Apple hardware.

Wasn't it Apple who used to make fun of PCs for running Windows?

Which OS works with all the computer hardware out there?

I did not know that server hardware did not constitute computer hardware. I think I need to improve my knowledge of computers.

Besides, non-Mac PPC hardware is available for home computer users, too.

I am not assuming anything. I merely appraised you of the fact that a linux distribution runs on a gaming system. I clearly pointed this out in the line- "It also runs on Playstation 3, which is a gaming system". Maybe, I should change the way I write to accommodate the linguistically and analytically, disadvantaged.

Thank you for the information. I am sincerely grateful to you for giving me this vital piece of information, without which, I would have remained misinformed. forever.

However, I do not understand the connection between a discussion on computer hardware and an act of a computer company to enhance the sale of its products. Maybe, I should develop my analytical skills further to carry out a meaningful discussion on this bulletin board.

^^^ I think you really need to. You are so far unable to interpret what we are discussing in this thread. Whether Server hardware & OS or Consumer hardware & OS.
