On Monday at a conference in LA, however, Steve Ballmer (of Microsoft) confessed that the FUD surrounding Linux isn't quite what it was made out to be. The Register has also covered the story in an easier to read fashion. They point out that Microsoft has just changed a page on their site which originally derided Linux, but now simply states what 'Windows does better.'"

  1. What Windows Does Better..... by javacowboy · · Score: 1, Troll

    1) Crashes more often than Linux
    2) Attracts more hackers and viruses than Linux
    3) Forces you to upgrade more often

    Linux is free. Windows costs money. You get what you pay for, right?
