[General] GAP Inc (gapinc.com / gap.com) moves from windows to linux

[Majed B.]

1500 BLADE SERVERS!!!! :O

At first I thought: Why would they change their Point of Sale (PoS)
systems to Linux? That's extra support contracts. But now that it is
about servers, it makes sense.

So all those Windows and Unix admins are gonna be sacked? I can see a
lot of internal grudge going on and lots of admins refusing to give
access to the systems, if not sabotage them...
