LinuxWorld: Celebrating 'Linux Myths' Oct 8, 1999, 00:41 UTC (18 Talkbacks) (Other stories by Nicholas Petreley) "Microsoft's recent anti-Linux diatribe signals nothing new -- except the beginning of an era in which the trade media treats Linux with respect and Microsoft is forced to publish its own lies." "Microsoft recently posted an exposé of Linux myths, declaring that Windows NT/2000 is in every way superior to Linux. The Microsoft Linux Myths page includes truth, lies, spin, leaps in logic, and irrelevancies. I'm not going to address any of them..." "The more money Microsoft's friends could make, the more money they could spend on advertising. Therefore, supporting Microsoft meant filling pages with ads not only for Microsoft products, but for a variety of related office suites, utilities, servers, workstations, and so on."
