   You ignored the specific features I mentioned again.

  No I don't have to prove a generalization, you do. To destroy your
  generalization I need merely show examples which show that your
  generalization is false.

  I could go through many other examples (e.g. distributed cluster =
computing
  tools for Windows vs Linux ) that demonstrate that you were throwing =
out a
  false generalization just as you claim others do.

     NTFS is more than just a journal file system.  I notice you ignored
  everything else.  Cat got you tongue?

    I don't have to start with a non specific generalization I could =
simply
    reverse your exmples to show the facile nature of your =
generalization.

    e.g re NTFS How many Journalled File Systems has Windows got? XFS? =
JFS?
    Ext3? ReiserFS?

    So in simple journalled filesystem support  it's well known that =
Windows
  has
    less functionality.

       Where do you want to start?  NTFS, ACLs, compression, EFS,
    ActiveDirectory, integrated security, etc.  And this is without =
going
  beyond
    the file system nor is it a complete list for just the file system.

      If you want to roll your own it can cost less for Linux, assuming =
your
    time
      is worth nothing.  If you want to use a supported version, like =

    RedHat,
      expect to spend much more for your annual subscription.  They will =

pay
