Um, maybe a Linux based server? Oh, I forgot you really can't do anything outwardly cool on that OS.


uhhhh most of the worlds servers run on a number of *nix derivatives, exactly what type of "cool" stuff is the os missing out on?  dry.gif

So, you are saying MS servers, that we play games on,  are unix based? Yes, my client's servers are unix based. However, they are email servers and such.

And to the other person who mentioned EA, Rockstar, etc.... EA and Rockstar run on Windows. Dolt. They don't try to replace Windows. Ford and GM? OMFG.

Well they haven't forced me to change my motto - "PlayStation who?"

I haven't changed it since launch tho, so I suppose that's the reason why.

This maybe security related.


Try admin. If its not allowed, then unix is not allowed because of security measures
If its allowed, then MS is antiLinux.

No I said 'most' not 'all', whether or not ms uses *nix servers I could care less, it won't make a difference on the client side if it ran on either one. All server protocols are in some form native to cross server platforms.

Could this possibly be the worse logic ever?





Anywho, it's quite clearly a generic black list and nothing to do with Microsoft hating Linux, competition, etc.
