Microsoft Sends Linux Survey

Posted by michael on from the inquiring-minds-want-to-know dept.

GnrlFajita writes "According to Newsforge, Microsoft is sending Linux users a survey asking why they use Linux, and what can be done to make Windows better. The article suggests taking the survey (or surveys, one for business users and one for home users), then sharing your answers with others in the community." Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN.

    Watch out for any suspicious planes, people with high melanin count, or who worship a different prophet from you! They wish to inflict harm on your family or neighbors.

    Make sure you are prepared and that you know how to react when an airplan crashes into your suburban home.

    And stop reading Slashdot!

    God bless Amerika.
