Story: Linux vendors hit back at Ballmer's email
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 28 October 2004, 9:47 PM)
I've helped people with both Open source and MS software. What people usually find most annoying is when they ask for help with a MS product, a lot of the answers they get say "switch to linux" and vice versa. Maybe if more tech savvy people actualy helped others with what they actually asked for help with, more people might be open to trying the other product. Then they can make up their mind on what works best for them.
Software is a tool. Use the one that works best for what you're using it for. Hype like "rock solid linux" and "MS is easier to use" just convince most people that they can't trust anybody to give them helpful advice.
