Microsoft starts a "Get the Facts" campaign...against itself

| Imagine the kind of savings you could get if you just stopped using Windows

| By the way, the study claims that switching to Vista saves on hardware costs.
| How could this possibly be, when everything I have ever read on Vista is that
| it is a resource hog? You spend more on hardware with Vista, not less.
|
| Anyway, Microsoft must really be hurting if it has to resort to beating up on
| its most stable product in years. It's clearly desperate to get people to
| move off XP (you know, the Windows OS that actually has hardware/peripheral
| support, a lot of software written for it, needs a lighter hardware platform,
| etc.). Maybe the open-source crowd should just wait for Microsoft to beat
| itself into oblivion.
