WHY is this bogus article still running?!? Three months and largely negative responses later (because it deserves them?). ZDUK can do better for the non-Micro$haft community!

Hey, we know already that ZD $hills for M$, that M$ "TCO comparisons" are really quite laughable and that DiDiot runs around the M$ campus on kneepads and rollerskates.

To say that she's - to be polite - M$'s "kept woman" is a cosmic understatement. Her ongoing defense of the SCOundrels in Utah and their obscene, M$-funded FUD campaign against Linux is all you need to see.

Please, ZD, come up with some better headlines than stuff about a non-existent TCO battle. Your own article, "South Korea launches 10,000-school Linux programme ... Citing security concerns, better support and budgetary concerns... " (hello?!?) just buttresses that idea. AND, beyond TCO issues, it illustrates the power of Open Source to better meet domestic needs in this time of Globalization.

C'mon, guys! You can do it!

Its the applications and device drivers that run on windows that cement its dominance. How many people would fork out hundreds of pounds for Vista if Linux ran all the software and kit they wanted to use.
