" Is it Open Source that's running a massive "Get the Facts" FUD campaign? (and even putting ads on "supposed" Linux sites) Has Linus Torvalds ever needed to fund a biased study that touts Linux superiority over Microsoft? "
No you people do a fine job of bragging about Linux all on your own. And if someone comes along and says Linux sucks, he gets 10,000 hate mails a day. Since you are less than 5% of the market why bother doing a study on you.
" And if you think Bruce Perens spreads propoganda and FUD, then I can't wait to hear your opinion of Rob Enderle. Let's face it, Microsoft is a monopoly - even the federal government said so. Linux is a threat to that monopoly. Linux has no need to spread FUD "
You all spread propaganda and FUD, Microsoft, Red Hat you all do. Who gives a crap what Microsoft is, the fact is Microsoft is a trusted source and right now, you people are not looking too favorable and I am seriously considering dropping the rest of the Open Source projects I do participate in because this is nothing to cheer about, it is nothing to be proud of and to all the replies I have seen cheering this type of action, not necessarily on this post, you people are scum and I hope whoever wrote this virus does get caught and I hope they throw the MF from a fricken helicopter 300 feet in the air with no parachute. Just because you disagree with SCO and Microsoft
does not give anyone the right to disrupt their business or even attack the Windows community who is blameless. Whoever wrote this virus is not a champion for Linux, just a common thug who has nothing else better to do than to screw with people and I can not and will not be part of a community with anyone who would cheer this on. It is unethical and immoral, not to mention illegal
" they're not the ones with a monopoly (and multi-billion dollar fortunes) to protect. "
This has nothing to do with fortunes or monopolies this is about what is right and what is wrong and this is wrong. To me this is the proverbial straw that broke the camels back and I hold nothing but contempt for the perpitrators
