I think I'm gonna be sick !
The Register reports on a new Microsoft seminar series in the UK that is aimed
at convincing customers that Linux isn't exactly free. "According to Nick
McGrath, head of platform strategy at Microsoft UK, independent and funded
research shows that Windows 2003 is less expensive than Red Hat or SuSE in
some examples. He attacked the "myth" that Linux was free. Linux has
strengths, McGrath said (without saying what they might be -spoil sport)
before arguing that "Windows offers a more comprehensive environment"."
