Good stuff.  I guess Linux "rocks" more than it "rules."

I would also suggest that no one cares about VMS anymore, so I don't think 
they are getting a lot of new hits on that one.  I would also say that VMS 
might be the best thing in the world, but where's the software for it? 
With Linux we get everything we need with ease.  That's why Linux beats 
VMS, and while it might be the only reason why it beats it, it's a very 
important reason.
