A letter to the Editor from Eric Raymond outlines Microsoft’s
recent Mindcraft disaster.
“Microsoft’s latest FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) tactic

“Previous independent benchmarks have found Linux and other
Unixes to be dramatically faster and more efficient than NT, and

to support 1998 problems. Linux fans smelled a rat somewhere, and
amid the ensuing storm of protest, some interesting facts came to
light.”
