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"."
