The two operating systems can’t be compared. Longhorn is at least two years away.

parker you forgot to mention that ms support with run yeah 295$ a pop.. but then again you'll probably only needed it two or three times over the course of the OS's lifetime...

ms is the cheaper solution... though that doesn't always make it the best solution.


/me looks at watch .... WTF you all are going to start compairing these two things already?? one is a future product\OS, one is a current kernel.. this must be the twilightzone

Hawk, for the most part nobody needs phone support from MS as the KB articles are generally very good.
