When MS refers to 'facts' the clearly mean 'MSfacts' (TM). It's not MS's fault if people confuse 'MSfacts' (TM) with 'facts'...

Seriously though, I think this sort of thing shows that MS is really taking the Linux 'threat' seriously, which helps to give it extra credibility. E.g. Ask your PHB** this telling question - "Why is MS spending all this time and effort on attacking Linux if it's not a serious option?"
