FUD implies an intent to turn people away from a product or platform for self-serving motives. It's not clear that the author or publication were so motivated. Maybe they just wrote up the summary in a somewhat sloppy fashion.
But even if readers accepted their report uncritically, I don't think it would discourage users from adopting Linux or vendors from selling solutions to mid-sized companies. If anything, it would indicate that there's an opportunity there to seize a cost or market advantage while competitors were napping.
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
not so sure this is FUD
