| cheaper than its open source rival"
|
| CassiaNote: This must be why almost all of
| the major e-book readers run on Linux and

| market share drops like a rock" here.

IBM tries to woo business customers from Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| On the eve of Microsoft's launch of Windows
| 7, the gloves are off in the fight for
| business customers. IBM today unveiled an
| all-out campaign to persuade U.S. companies,
| governments and organizations to finally
| break their Windows habit and make the
| switch to Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| IBM has been making this argument for years.
| In the spring of 2003, Microsoft CEO Steve
| Ballmer cut short a skiing trip to race to
| Germany to try prevent the city of Munich
| from excising Windows and Office from 14,000
| desktop PCs. Ballmer failed. IBM and German
| Linux distributor SuSE worked furiously
| behind the scenes to persuade Munich to make
| the switch to a Linux system.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer shills Windows 7 on U.S. national TV in
front of Apple Mac (with video)
,----[ Quote ]
| MacDailyNews Take: It must suck to work for
| Microsoft where important details routinely
| go left unchecked and, no matter where in
| the world you go, you're constantly surround
| by professionals who all use Apple Macs.
| Plus, every time you try to promote your
| inferior products, Apple's keep showing up
| in your TV appearances and even in your
| sloppy company's own ads that are, of
| course, also creating on Macs.
