    "Compare Windows to Linux"
    Even in the earlier campaign they just refer to "Linux" in the print advertisements and they never specify which version of softwares on which version of distribution that they have compared (Once they had compared Redhat Linux 7.1 with Windows XP!).
    It is time that responsible people from Linux Mark Institute take a note of this and sue them for libel!
