Story: SAP slams open source 'socialism'

GSCE History always taught me to look at a source of information for bias. My teacher always said, ask questions.

Such as:

- Why did this person make this statement?
- What bias does that person have?
- Why does this person have bias?

It's pretty obvious that if you can be bothered to spend the time to make such statements then you clearly have an issue with Linux. You are clearly biased against it.

Why does this person have bias? Clearly he is trying to say that Linux is not contributing any ideas, rather leaching off of other peoples' ideas.

Clearly this guy has his own vested interests in putting other people off of Linux. What could that be exactly?

A quick google search for his name reveals....

"SAP and Microsoft aim to drive enhanced efficiency for information workers, who rely on Microsoft Office as their primary work environment." *

So it seems that SAP rely on Microsoft for their income... Either directly or indirectly.

So it would then seem that Linux is a threat to SAP. Which would explain why an SAP exec is telling people that Linux is bad.

It's not really rocket science. Well I am so glad I took History at A level. The skills I learnt make everything so clear.
