Microsoft vs. The Linux World
,----[ Quote ]
| Make no mistake about it, if you are using a Linux distribution, you are not
| a friend to the software giant in Redmond. For years, they have spread rumors
| and half-truths in an effort to curb any further attraction to Linux
| development. Unfortunately for them, this has not only failed miserably, but
| their own Vista operating system has become the ultimate pro-Linux marketing
| campaign with its bugs, bloat and compatibility issues.

And yet you see some people who refuse to identify a convicted criminal.

| "There are some things that Windows does pretty well," Zemlin said. Microsoft
| for instance has excelled in marketing the operating system, and has a good
| track record in fending off competition.
|
| Although Zemlin advised against launching large scale marketing campaigns and
| against setting up a Microsoft-styled PR organization, Linux should
| acknowledge and address preconceptions about the software instead of denying
| them.

Open-source discrimination

He is having lunch with Microsoft executives. They try to 'buy' the mind of
open source/free software people.
