  4. One way propaganda. MS seems really worried... on Microsoft Clarifies Linux Myths · · Score: 1

    Microsoft makes some points, but 90% of that was total FUD.

    I admit that the SMP in Linux isn't the best, and perhaps Windows NT is better for a small
    LAN, or if the system administrators are too stupid. My personal preference for serving is
    FreeBSD and I use Linux on my personal workstation.
    Yes, Linux is limited to 128mb swap, but you can use more than that with multiple swaps.
    Windows NT is clearly not as stable as Linux, anything rushed that much, made by inferior
    programmers who don't care about what happens as long as they get paid, with countless
    bugs and full heavy GUI cannot be as stable. Once my friend told me, "they should take off all
    the boot up messages in Linux, it's giving me a headache." He later realized the stupidity
    of his statement. This is in a way how Windows is, masking things so people don't get
    headaches, as long as everything goes fine. But when something goes wrong...
    It is common knowledge that Linux is more stable than Windows NT, so this point that
    Microsoft was trying to make is null.
    Linux isn't free? Hmm, maybe Microsoft forgot that you could download it for free, or buy it
    for like a buck from Cheapbytes. Why is Microsoft talking about UNIX prices? Hmm, maybe
    I'll write Windows NT Myths and talk about other Microsoft product prices.
    Whats this thing in security about all or nothing? There are plenty of opensource programs
    to do the things Microsoft mentioned. Also, there isn't a central place to report bugs?
    Can you say, Bugtraq? It also helps when people admit their mistakes.
    Oh ya, its nice to have everything out in the open, but it won't matter if your system
    administrators are stupid.
