Ouch, I've been stabbed by your pointed retort! Puhlease!
Come on Joe, I know that you can present a better argument than simple and baseless name calling. As for claims of "informed content", I have to ask where? The article contains no informed content. I contains wishy washy marketing dodges and completely fails to answer the question of why GoDaddy switched.
It's not a troll to point out that, rather than looking at the issue and trying to figure out why GoDaddy, or any company, would choose Windows over Linux and then address those issues. But, you and the fanboys would rather shout "troll" and "FUD" while burying their heads in the sand. Meanwhile the borg cube continues lumbering towards them.
Let's look at some facts. GoDaddy, chose to switch existing Linux servers to Windows. This wasn't a new implementation choice, it was a conscious choice to switch pre-existing servers to an OS that costs them money and the fanboys claim is slower, less secure, more prone to failure and harder to manage. The fact that the servers are used for parking does not negate the fact that GoDaddy chose to switch the servers to a different OS.
Even if all other things are equal, there is considerable difficulty, effort and expense involved in any OS switch. Aren't you curious as to why GoDaddy is willing to do this? Are you so intoxicated with the Kool-Aide that you yourself dispense that you will not accept any other possibility than Microsoft paid them to do it?
Aren't you curious why GoDaddy would want to spend more money and effort maintaining the "harder to manage servers" for parked domains? I'm very curious and if that simple fact makes me a troll in your mind then perhaps you should re-evaluate your position. I'm sure that you wouldn't like to see your "liberation army" hoisted on its own petard.
