NeoWin reporter impartial? - I SUSEpect not!
,----[ Quote ]
| The point I made at the time (and still maintain) is that someone who has
| used Microsoft products only is hardly in a possition to call themself (IMO)
| either a tech enthusiast and/or an expert. They are Microosoft product
| experts in my opinion and as I recently said on another site, you wouldnt be
| happy taking your car to a garage that only had experience in one model of
| car that was different to yours, the same applies to the IT world.
|
| I still have my doubts as to the impartiality of certain reporters from the
| NeoWin site. Of course this is my opinion so let me place the evidence in
| front of you, the reader and you can decide for yourself.

|
| So we hit upon the subject of impartiality again. For those that dont know,
| it is my opinion that openSUSE is about the closest thing you can get to a
| Microsoft approved Linux distro (since “the deal” that Novell and Microsoft
| signed a few years ago) For those who are not aware of this deal you can
| find out more information here: http://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/

| Novell-- meh. Once upon a time they were a determined, though unfortunately
| incompetent competitor to Microsoft. They had a network OS that supported
| pretty much anything you could throw into it, with all of the identity
| management and resource management and interoperability you could want. Now
| they're little better than a branch of Microsoft. It's a good thing the
| openSUSE project is slowly becoming more independent, because SUSE is worth
| salvaging.

| If I ask you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?

| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
