Users Reject MS Independent Study Claims
PenguinCandidate writes "End users from various corners of the Web have whole-heartedly rejected Microsoft's claims that an independent TCO comparison between Linux and Windows would be something akin to the second coming. Said one senior Linux architect: 'With Linux and open source, it is possible to arrive in a position where the organization has increased control over its situation [and reduced] its long-term costs. That's a highly desirable outcome and I doubt we'll ever see a Microsoft-funded study which will come to that conclusion.'"
ok, i tried to reply to this post, but apparently slashdot is run by a bunch of OSS-zealots who can't stand the opposition, and the moderators deleted my reply. what i said in my original post is that your so called "neutral" study is totally biased, and you are a hypocrite for labeling it as neutral. if you will look at the bottom of the article of your Linux vs Windows comparison, you will notice that the author is an editorial director of LinuxWorld. how could you consider such an article written by that author to be neutral? you anti-ms zealots are fighting a hopeless battle, because in the end, quality software developed by capitalists beats poorly written free crapware (linux) any day.
Not your average
