Microsoft Developing Linux Policy, Plan of Attack

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the overused-gandhi-quote-goes-here dept.

Lil' Bobby Gortician writes "This new MSNBC article talks about Microsoft's developing strategy to deal with Linux. They are actually getting some of their sales people certified as Linux experts, and say 1/10th of their test servers now run Linux. My favorite quote? "There's no set architecture in Linux. All roads lead to madness"."

    Has it occured to you that ignorance and difficulty are two entirely separate things?

    What he said was he helped create the Internet. In other words he and a few others lead the fight in Congress for funding to expand and open what was previously a small network running between a few universities doing military research that went by the name of ARPA net.

    The facts don't lie but Rush Limbaugh does.
