Saw this on linuxtoday... What do you guys think?

Sorry if this has been posted b4.

 

[Pretender]

Much of it is true but with a classic Microsoft spin....I don't think it's right of them to be putting out this paper, but I guess it's fair business competition practicee.

 

[OomoO]

I don't know if I can trust Microsoft anymore. Why are they trying to kill open source. Thats just evil!

 

[Azraele]

They're trying to kill open source because they see it as a threat to their monopoly.

Yeah, unfortunately so. But it's kinda shocking when MS actually does compile such things and shakes the non-believers but near to adopters outta the way.

Less Secure
?Open source? means that anyone can get a copy of the source code. Developers can find security weaknesses very easily with Linux. The same is not true with Microsoft Windows.

If I were a Linux fanatic, I'd be gleeful. If Microsoft didn't perceive Linux as a threat, they never would have developed and published the paper.

Asubit: I was just about to say the same thing.

The seem to be trying to imply that windows is cheaper than linux to operate and maintain. I really find that hard to believe. You would to pay for the same upkeep and tech support, but you don't need all of the EULA's.
