How very true. If a manufacturer tried that, they would lose the entire
ISP and backbone market in a flash.
Linux, BSD and Solaris rules that area. Windows doesn't even get a
look-in.
Next they'd lose the Oracle/Sybase/IQ/any-db-that-matters market where
those products do run on Windows (sort of a token gesture, useful for
POCs run by the technically clueless) but anyone with a brain does the
real work on Unix.
It usually takes just one phone call from the right person and an
entire corporate can switch from vendor X to vendor Y. It's scary to
watch.
