Story: Microsoft: Linux is anti-commercial
Posted by: Matt Webber (Saturday 26 November 2005, 12:41 PM)
I think we might be giving MS too much credit here.
Perhaps this is just more evidence of them desperately trying to keep any mention of Linux or Free Software away from people's attention. When you consider their recent XML 'standard' has Microsoft Office as its prefix as do most of their forays, or Microsoft Windows etc. is this just a bad attempt at brain-washing? Certainly they give their products the full title every time when in an interview even though they know time is short and abbreviations are readily available.
Expect to see more of these blatant insults to our intelligence as the Open Source business model wipes out the old monopolies and we witness the final years of Microsoft.
