Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads

Posted by timothy on from the can-this-really-be-true dept.

One of the funnier myths perceived to be true is that 'Microsoft's technical support is the best in the industry and is superior to that offered by the Linux community.' It just goes to show how little real world experience students have. It's a bit disturbing considering they will be the next generation of technology workers."

    Not only do I 100% agree with the "RTFM" comment I can also add that the last time I submitted a bug report to Microsoft (scripting engine problem with the Visual Studio IDE) they *phoned* me back to walk me through the fix.

    Also, I want to add that I really love MSDN.

    I like it when I ask a question (almost any question), and I get "RTFM" in response (sometimes with "luser" appended).
