“With the new Windows NT vs. Linux PC Magazine benchmarks to be
announced this week, the first squall line of the coming FUD storm
has past and the Linux community can expect wave after stormy wave
of spin, FUD and backpedaling from the wizards of Redmond. “

“To keep track of all the market-speak you can handle, Linux
Orbit will be collecting all the misinformation we can find on the
web, as well as the stuff YOU find. Join your friends and laugh at
the enemy as Linux Orbit hosts “FUD Storm 1999, the summer of
FUD.”
