Follow Up to "Linux's Achilles Heel"

donheff writes "Fred Langa has posted an Informationweek online followup to his "Linux's Achilles Heel" column that drew a lot of attention on slashdot recently. He responds to several of the most common criticisms and 'posits that high-priced commercial Linux vendors are on a suicidal course, unless they lower prices to accentuate their advantages over Windows.'"

    Silly moderator. The only post in this thread that presents hard figures and research results on the topic at hand gets modded "troll" because they happen to be disadvantageous to Linux.

    Clue: Slashdot is not meant to be a Linux fansite. There are other sites for that.
