    Rofl, page of lies more like
    We looked at Linux for our Unix database migration, but found that Windows and Linux provided similar costs, and Windows was stronger on the other key decision factors

    Just went to getthefacts.com and read some of their stuff.

    Guess what? www.gettheactualfacts.com & www.gettherealfacts.com are available..... hmmm It would be funny to produce a site that would absolutely put the Microsoft one to shame!

    Haha. I think you'd have a team of highly paid lawyers descending on you like bees on a honey pot. ;)

    Oh you can bet! But only if you said something inaccurate. You could make a very good site and remain very factual.

    Did you notice that they don't seem to focus on linux vs windows ? Reading closely they are going more for red hat vs windows but just say linux.

    This makes my blood boil. Fine, give fair and accurate of any advantages and disadvantages but there's no need for this sort of thing.

    Also, look at the first (and only) sponsored result you get when you Google 'Linux'. Have to love all these ads. At least I know MS will -- more than likely -- be getting charged per click :D

    Meh, it's microsoft's way of combating Linux, what's wrong with that? If you're making an informed decisions about something, would you trust the content of one of the companies involved? Or would you go by some 3rd party, independent source?

    I can guarantee this will have no effect at all on whether people choose windows or not.. Waste of money if you ask me...

    Come on guys ( and gals ), you know it makes sense.

    Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated:D

    P.S. Where can I get that well informed and unbiased newspaper?
