It should be understood that the article in question is propaganda ("FUD"
in Slashdot terms). Like all good propaganda, it contains truths,
half-truths, and lies in an artful mixture. It happens to be on our side
for a change, but that doesn't make it into something else. It is extremely
biased, and plays up the flaws in Microsoft products, while ignoring known
deficiencies in Linux.
I am not saying one should not use this article, but one should certainly
be aware of what it is.
I also find it ironic (but not surprising) that, when Microsoft posts
something like this, everyone goes bananas, but when it supports our stance,
we endorse it. :-)
