Maybe they do run FreeBSD on a virtual machine? There are no stats to back this up either way so we will be at a loss here :( > I have been avoiding MicroSux WinBlows jobs. I would rather leave the > profession than support that garbage. If you can have a computer shop/area for fixing computers fixing those MS machines would be the way to make money. I have a friend who is a computer technician and he is very happy with the "garbage" that you mention. He says that because there are many careless users and the "garbage" allows other "garbage"(virii, spyware, malware, etc) to come in; he has a job and a way to provide for his family. He can take his kids to mcdonalds and get them a happy meal take out his family to watch a movie. I tell him the same thing like you mention, but he says that fixing those machines that are out there is something that he has to do to at least make ends meet and no, it is not support from MS, it is a job to clean/wipe those machines to make them workable again :) support from M$ would be more money and I remember folks that get burned at the stake for getting a job from those guys :( Regards, Antonio
