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"."

    "There's no innovation. Linux is still in the business of cloning existing technology."

    As compared to new technology like window/mouse interfaces (never mind Xerox, Apple), IP connectivity (never mind *n*x), web browsers (never mind Mosaic, Netscape), web servers (never mind NCSA, Apache), long filenames (never mind Apple, *n*x), that Microsoft "innovated" with Windows.
