MS struggles to discredit Linux | |
|

What's cheaper than an OS you can buy outright once and install on every PC in your shop -- and upgrade cost-free for eternity to boot? Why, a slew of cheesy licenses for Microsoft Windows, 'Doze Division VP Brian Valentine claims in his latest cheerleading effort for his sales associates. That's right; a putatively 'independent analysis' by DH Brown is going to rip Linux a new one and find that Windows is actually cheaper. How Valentine knows this is anyone's guess. Perhaps he has a mole in the Brown organization as good as the one we have in his. Or perhaps MS simply paid for it. We don't know. | ||

#1,
The Release Candidtate program has expired. The original license indicates that the RC period expired when the final release was made available to the public. I wouldn't expect support forever for a $10 RC download :) TL |

#6 - heh. So true. I remember when the Mindcraft benchmark came out and how in shock the Linux zealots were. They were convinced it was rigged... but then after it was verified by several other independent authorities they stuck their head in the ground. Slashdot wouldn't even report on the other independent benchmarks, for example.
Oh dear, look... the article is from the Register. Well no wonder. Microsoft does not need to struggle to discredit Linux. The Linux zealots do it daily for them. |

| Anything which criticizes Linux or fails to show Linux in the Light of God Himself must be paid for my MS! It must be! |

This is unusual. Where are all the Penguin-Thumpers ?
