Developers Turn to Linux, Stunt Microsoft Growth | |
|

Mike Petitjean has been a dedicated Microsoft user for more than a decade, but now the software developer says he's so fed up with the high prices and unreliable systems that he's switching to Linux. "Windows is a lousy platform," said Petitjean, who was attending the LinuxWorld show in New York last week. Platforms are technology jargon for the operating system software, like Microsoft Corp.'s (NasdaqNM:MSFT - news) Windows and Unix, which are used to run business computers and servers. "It's just not reliable enough." | ||

"We want to offer software that's simple to set up and help companies run their businesses without them having to become computer gurus,"
"Simple to set up"...Surely he can't be referring to Linux as there is nothing "simple" about any distro setup. |

I wasn't an enlish literature or journalism major but shouldn't give facts/numbers to support the title of an article?
