 So, you are saying that other OSes, even other Linux distributions, have no
 bugs, security holes, compatibility issues and zero-days? Looks like we don't
 need M$ to spread FUD about Linux, we're well capable of doing it ourselves ;)

 There are in fact people who run Gentoo in the Enterprise, and it's up to the
 sysadmin to decide which upgrade policies to implement. While this would not
 necessarily be my personal choice, it's perfectly legit. As is running Windows
 should the powers that be require it.

 Agreed.
