Microsoft Attacks Linux With Retail-Training Talking Points

DesiVideoGamer writes "Over at Overclock.net, a user has posted screen-shots from Microsoft's 'ExpertZone' training course entitled 'Linux vs. Windows 7.' This course is available to BestBuy employees and will make them eligible for a $10 copy of Windows 7 upon completion." The screenshots linked show at least some creative interpretations of the state of Linux vs. Windows on a wide range of things, from media playback and video conferencing to ease of updates to (of all things) keeping your PCs "safer." Most of the claims, though, aren't concrete enough to be perfectly refuted. Writes DesiVideoGamer, "I think I now know why, when I enter BestBuy, the employees say the odd lies that they do."

If I'm ever really, really bored, I'm going to go to Best Buy wearing Barbie pink, act like I'm a novice user who wants to buy a netbook, and then refute their points one by one. Now that I know what they are... ;) I doubt I'll ever be that bored, but its nice to know I have a plan C this winter.
