Hey Reagan. >> It may be the case where >> Linux or *BSD have been used in render farms because of license cost, >> not for any particular technical merit! Try modifying Windows or OSX, to be as streamlined as Linux can be. Try to make fundamental changes to the operating system itself... You cant do that with Proprietary code.

Daniel, is so very correct here. Even if Windows was free, they still wouldn't be using it. For all the reasons Daniel has explained, and the other example i have written above. Windows/OSX are not flexible enough, for these more specific applications/usages. jordan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
