AllLinuxDevices has the complete text of Lineo's response to
Microsoft regarding a recent MS comparison sheet between embedded
Linux and embedded Windows XP. The response is not geared to the
general claims about Linux as much as the specific points raised
regarding Lineo, which figured prominently in the comparison:
"Historically, such comparisons from Microsoft have consistently
attempted to show negative elements about a competitor's solution
while ignoring Microsoft's own shortcomings altogether.
In this paper, the Microsoft authors seemingly forgot to address
the relevant community of intelligent and capable software
engineers, device manufacturers and media editors who would care
about embedded system software. The content and spin of this
Microsoft paper seems to assume an audience unfamiliar with
competitive offerings and speaks to the level of Microsoft's usual
"white paper" audience of people who use their home computer to
surf the Internet, swap audio files and occasionally use a word
processor."
