Microsoft On Linux: Forecast Or Fantasy?




http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/computing/03/06/ms.linux.idg/index.html

An interesting Item that just showed up on Slashdot (yeah I know you'll
read it anyway, but some of you don't look at the comments!)


the following was posted by a guy who identifies himself as a MICROSOFT
employee (got a score of 5 for funny!)



   Myth: If I use Linux and encourage others to use it, I'm not hurting
   anyone.

   Fact: Employees of microsoft depend on the sale of Windows to support
   their families. By not buying Windows you will force them to starve
   on the street with their families. You can help prevent this by
   spending your rent and food budget on Microsft products.

   Myth: Using Linux will make me a super stud. 

   Fact: Linux causes severe erectile disfunction. In a recent study, 47
   impotent men were given computers running Linux. All 47 reported an
   inability to maintain an erection after using Linux for several days.

   Myth: Using Unix-like OS's will help me grow a thick bushy beard.

   Fact: Almost 7% of professional Unix admins do not have thick bushy
   beards.

(and someone added: Is that because 7% of professional Unix admins are
women? :-)
