“This week Microsoft took the gloves off and put up this page
about “The Five Linux Myths.” It would appear that the long-awaited

“As can be seen, Microsoft’s document is partially truthful,
partially not. It is not, in general, blatantly dishonest. It
points at places where work needs to be done. There is little here

development in the Linux world, Microsoft’s document will be
obsolete very soon.”
