        There are usually good rationales, which maybe are not good for 
Oracle specifically.

        If you want a more conservative approach, you still have the 
Unices, with which GNU/Linux is interoperable.  With MS, you're stuck.

        This is by design.  Linus feels the desktop stresses the kernel 
mores and pushes it further, harder.  Feel free to substitute Unix if you 
think like it: they are all open systems, more or less.
