Re: RDi and Linux

1, unfortunately. We had a hard enough time getting PCs for our
developers (we're a big terminal services shop). And it's been hard
getting many of our developers to WDSC.

Personally, I love Ubuntu, but I don't see us going to Linux as a
desktop OS here at work.

Although this really wasn't a session on RDi, it was on RDi-SOA, and the
audience was more non-i people than i people, it was still a little
surprising to me.

I then began to wonder whether my own personal anti-Microsoft bias is
really skewing my perception. Personally, if I were running an IT
department I'd be very interested in a pure Linux network. With the
exception of a couple of specific-use programs, I don't use Windows-only
products anymore and I'm pretty happy. My biggest issue today is that I
have to use Windows for RDi.

On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being very important and 1 being not
important at all, how would you rate the importance of having RDi
running on Linux?
