Are you stupid or what?
Quite a few major media outlets have made mistakes and still do.
Some even print corrections or retractions. So is it Roys fault for
their mistakes?
So? We are not talking about a case where the media made a mistake, and
Roy accurately reported what the media said. We are talking about where
it is Roy who misrepresents what the media said.
He didn't. Maybe you should reread his post as well. All I see are a
few M$ apologists making a lot of racket.
The news story accurately reported a company switching from a PHP-based
system to an open source .NET-based system.
^^^^^^^^^^^
And that is exactly what he was getting at.
Roy reported that they were
switching away from a .NET-based system. That's Roy's mistake, not the
media's mistake.
As an aside... the article was poorly written and ambigous.
The article title is "Open source SplendidCRM..."
It is .Net-centric by nature and integrates well with MS platforms.
(according to the article) but it is still open source software which
has a lower licensing costs than if they'd have went directly to all MS.
Do you see it now?
So Roy didn't lie. But then, you still are the one out to discredit the
linux advocates, which just shows your true colors and your poor character.
