I'm not here to spread FUD, because a lot has been spread recently. All we really need to know is that Windows has the largest market share. The open source community wants that market share. I'm not going to comment on which is the better product, but I would suggest attention within Microsoft is moving towards open source efforts. Knowledge Base articles like the above hardly show a firm, concerted, intentional dislike of Linux on their part (it's like saying turning a torch on in a cave system affects light pollution). Paying for software has had its time; paying for services (tech support, etc) only will probably bring todays software tycoons to their knees. I think I'll just stand back and watch...
