You're right, I did forget (accidentally) vz and kvm. Sorry for the ommissions. I run OpenVZ so it was definitely an oversight. Thanks for keeping me honest. »

Hi all, Thanks for your comments. I had fun writing this one and it's meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek and playful. Not the same boring stuff it could be but something more creative. As far as being factually accurate, most of the information comes right from the KDE and GNOME websites themselves as you can see from the links provided. I didn't make it up. I just put my spin on each feature for the match up. For those of you who enjoyed it, I'm glad. For those who didn't, do you just not like the style (boxing match) or the fact that it's a draw? I use both GNOME and KDE. I love and hate them both. If you want to know the truth, I think XFCE and LXDE have a lot to offer and I enjoy using them a great deal too. Anyway, it is meant to be entertaining and enlightening and I hope you feel entertained and enlightened by it. »

@sbesch Thanks for getting it. »

Those were my experiences with the product. Your mileage may vary. I found the CD mounting/unmounting to be a little troublesome. The network is a bit tricky for newcomers--lots of complaints in that area. OpenSolaris is x86, not Sparc. I work in an environment where we have Solaris 10 Sparc and I was trying to load xVM so that I could install a Windows guest for a project. No dice. And, no, not written a year ago, I can assure you. This was the latest version (2.14) as of this writing which was a few days before it was published. »

The Mac comments are to be taken a lighthearted humor. Sorry if it offends anyone. You should see some of my rants about the days of the one-button mouse. I am not particularly prejudiced against any one OS, especially now that Mac OS X is a blend of NeXT and FreeBSD. It's actually pretty cool. I take stabs at Mac stuff because Mac people feel that Apple is a religion and it gets them riled-up as you can see here. Just a little fun folks--don't take snarky comments so seriously. »
