Before everyone gets hot-under-the-collar, this site is so pro-M$ it probably wants Bill to be their editor.

A pinch of salt isn't enough with that lot - you'd have to sit in a drum of the stuff!

It's a good comedy site though. Some of their "facts" are better than anything you'll see on the so called comedy channels on TV. They even outdo M$ in their view of the abysmal "Get The Facts" campaign - even Microsoft don't talk about that shambles anymore.

I'm not against Microsoft as if they were some devil incarnate - it is the monopoly that is wrong, not the current monopolist.

For a more reasoned approach to GNU/Linux and Microsoft, take a look at ElReg (theregister.co.uk).

Some people seem to have no idea what GNU/Linux actually offers - thereagain, who ever said that "IT chiefs" ever know about what is *actually* important in IT. This is the lot who can't send an email without breaking their system.

Listen to people who know - ask those who actually maintain and support Windows systems, not those who employ those who do the work.
