it's not only a question of being legal, it's the question of running a
campaign ofshowing the oopsies of other products instead of the strength
of ours. Linux should be compared to NT, not 98 or 95, because it's far
from being prime time for know-nothing end users who need Hebrew office.
it should compete with Netware and NT and Sloaris instead.
