When Microsoft hires what it call "Munchkins" (astroturfers) to spread
lies
about rivals' products, that's not nice.
Though I would have no way to prove there were "hired hands"...
there were an amazingly huge amount of anti-Linux posts...just prior to the
release of Vista.
In all cases...there was a big blast of Linux along with a link to the
article.
When going to the link...the article had no mention what ever of any problem
with Linux...
it was 100% boggus.
In hundreds of thousands of stores, nationwide, Vista sales are in the
toilet.
There we are, freedom advocates, inserting live CDroms of Linux into
those 'new' and more expensive systems, to demonstrate how the speed
potential can be tapped for 20 concurrent processing desktops, true 3D
revolving desktop images, tens of thousands of FREE games, programs,
suites.
No different than telling someone to avoid a 'bad' part of town, where
the muggers all hang out!
