<html><body>Asterisk needs to operate with high operating system reliability
as needed and usual in the Telecom domain. Windows system don't offer such
reliability, so that's why they are not used in any field where high
reliability, security and data safety are required (like military, Government,
industries, power production and distribution etc.
etc.).<div><br></div><div>If you check the top computing systems in the world,
there </div><div>- 99.6 are running Unix/Linux systems,</div><div>- -
97% are running Linux, </div><div>- - 2.6% are running Unix and
only </div><div>- 0.2% are running Windows.</div><div><br></div><div>Also
using Windows' Internet Explorer is falling down for years, being surpassed
by Google Chrome and FireFox..</div><div><br></div><div>It may be also due to
the fact that many believes that scrappy character of Windows is a marketing
trick pushing billions of users to buy again and again what they have already
bought (by means of huge misleading advertising "buy the new version,
it's finally Super Excellent", people buy but the known crashes, security
vulnerabilities, data lost and other well known problems last - what repeats
for 20 years)...</div><div><br></div><div>You may remember also a big scandal
with the letter by HQ to branches which called "under any cost don't allow
that Linux gets in Government sector", offering the huge million fund for
"support" of sales.. </div><div><br></div><div>Etc.
etc.</div><div><br></div><div>JH :-)</div><div><br></div></body></html>
