what worries me about this the most is that the people who come up with this kind of bullshit at m/s get paid thousands a year to do it...

thats just disturbing, since when does linux cost you anything, apart from some cd's to burn it onto or buying it on ebay for 10 bucks...

unless they realise that people sell windoze pirated for next to nothing or for free coz it isn't worth jack

oh, what i would give for every game ever made to run on *nix, that would be heaven

Um. Training costs, tech support, roll out, administration... It all costs money, you know!

On Tuesday, Forrester Research's Giga Information Group unit is expected to release the results of a study commissioned by Microsoft finding that applications developed and deployed on Windows are cheaper to develop, deploy and maintain than those developed on J2EE/Linux platforms.

Key words here: "commissioned by Microsoft".
