China plans to drop Windows earlier than planned in favor of Linux for some government bodies. The move comes as part of China's broader push to reduce dependence on foreign products and services, especially those of US origin.
I can. I know a company that runs dozens if not hundreds. They also use MySQL - not even MariaDB, actual MySQL, on all those servers in addition to their own software. I sometimes wonder if they pay the license fees on that. If I ever do end up starting a competing business, I could just tip off Oracle about that and they’d lose millions. Wouldn’t even lose any sleep for it, they got bought out by private equity in a rather tragic story (founder didn’t want to ever sell it).
Can you imagine running Windows Server? Like… for what? 😂
I can cries in powershell
