You know why?
It's Their Nature
,----[ Quote ]
| For years Microsoft has been spreading lies and FUD (Fear,
| Uncertainty, Doubt) about Linux in the hopes that they can
| keep Linux from being widely adopted. Their latest round of
| lies is the anti-linux propaganda used in training some Best
| Buy and Staples employees. My opinion is that the reason
| Microsoft uses these tactics is because their software is so
| bad that it cannot stand on its own merits. It's sad that
| Microsoft wastes tons of resources trying to kill Linux
| instead of using those resources to improve their own
| software.

| The fox thought about it and finally agreed. So the scorpion
| climbed up on his back, and the fox began to swim. But halfway
| across the river, the scorpion stung him. As poison filled his
| veins, the fox turned to the scorpion and said, "Why did you
| do that? Now you'll drown, too."
|
| "I couldn't help it," said the scorpion. "It's my nature."
|
| So, the next time you're disgusted by something Microsoft
| does, just remember.. it's their nature.
