Yeah, my employer is doing it wrong too then. If you're serious and not
trolling, what specific apps do you feel Linux does not have? 10 or 15
years ago, your statements might have had some basis but today, not so
much.


Well, my work has a metalworking bent. Camsoft runs my CNC machines. I use
AutoCad 2007 for design. My son uses Autodesk Inventor and Mastercam X2 on
my box to write the CNC programs.

I also use FoxPro to run our sales, payroll, and inventory application. Huge
custom program - no way I am re-writing it.

My wife uses Quick Books Pro. My landlord has an app to design embroidry.

None of this stuff is available on linux.
