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.
