Because of my work with technology and with most people not understanding what it can and can't do I amd glad I have a Prepaid Legal Plan http://www.jtgrant.net that lets me talk to a lawyer when I have questions as part of my monthly fee of 26 dollars...I had an incounter with the FBI a few years back due to fueding ISPs...I really did not know what I should say and what I should not say or what they could legally ask me...being able to talk to a lawyer is one thing you really should be able to do...no matter how small the issue is you should talk to a lawyer to make sure you know your rights...I am sure that CEO has lawyers he has talked to able this to make sure he is in his legal rights, anyone that is successful knows to use lawyers...you should to...
But this artical in the hands of a Micr$oft zealots can be very painful in a shop that is just starting to look at Linux. The server ops that are trying to rule linux into production will know better, but you hand this artical with ABC's name on it to a Managing Director that is not a techie he may see Linux as more of a risk then Micro$oft. With that is is going to make it even harder to convince them that having al of those posts on bugTrap is a good thing so that you know to fix then and what needs to be fixed.
I can see why CmdrTaco did not see the artical as worth posting, bt on the other hand I am glad he did so that now I am ready if anyone tries to bring this up as another reason why Micro$oft is better using this artical I am a little more prepared and can make it look like I know what I am talking about when I explane what this artical was talking about and why it should be taken with a grain on salt.
