"Get the Facts" Campaign Working

brontus3927 writes "According to a Reseller Advocate Magazine write-up, Microsoft seems to be winning its war against Linux. Info-Tech Research Group recently ran a survey that is now being used on Microsoft's Get The Facts campaign. In it were some surprising results. 'After polling 1,400 IT managers and CIOs in SMB corporations, his group found that 48% were not interested in Linux, 15% were not sure about Linux, and only 10% plan to evaluate Linux." Despite this, two-thirds of all webservers run Linux. The disparity in these numbers comes from the fact that most smaller companies' websites are hosted by service providers running Linux servers even if the company itself isn't."

  2. Sun still hot by vegaspctech · · Score: 5, Funny

    In unrelated news, a recent survey of scientists reveals that most believe that the sun is still pretty darned hot. "You wouldn't want that puppy in your pants" said one source who wished not to be identified. Moon worshipers worldwide were quick to point out that the sun survey was commissioned by sun worshipers. One source, who wished not to be identified, said "Sure the sun makes a pretty good sun, but it would make a lousy moon, but those sun fanboys fail to point that out." Both sides of this hot debate agreed that you needn't fresh or original content to get a bunch of page hits, you can simply rehash something on slashdot.
