Michael Dell: Is He Agnostic When It Comes to Operating Systems?
Posted Jul 15, 2008 02:31pm EDT by Sarah Lacy in Computers, Internet, Newsmakers, Products and TrendsPart of Michael Dell's strategy to revive his namesake company is operating systems.

Now, now, children. You are all bright in different ways, and you should use the most competent tools in your tasks. You know what those are, but, too many of you choose failure. Best that many of the choices are based upon the OSes that are totally immune to the million Microsoft virus/malware/spybots/ and exploits.
