  Microsoft's Linux 'message'
Time: 07:37 EST/12:37 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Working in the press room of linuxworld in new York this month, I found myself checking e-mail on, of all things, a desktop PC running Windows 98. Actually, there were a couple of Linux stations in there. But most of the desktops ran Windows, and the Linux machines were always occupied. And I was so looking forward to Red Hat. All of which makes one wonder why anything related to Microsoft was near the Javits Center. I couldn't imagine a more hostile environment for a Redmondite this side of a DOJ courtroom. But there they were. Officials were seen lurking around the press area, trying to spread a message that didn't hide the fact they are very worried about Linux, a message that also tried to obscure the real reasons why. In fact, it was Microsoft misinformation in its purest form.
