“Just about a year ago, an internal Microsoft document on
Microsoft’s plans to crush Linux, which came to be called the
“Halloween Memo,” was the source of much consternation among the
high-tech community.”
“This week, Microsoft took another swing at Linux, but this time
in a more planned and public way: by publishing a document called
“Linux Myths” on its Website…”
“Some of Microsoft’s claims are more than a little puzzling,
such as its decision to compare the cost of the two operating
systems. Free (Linux) versus hundreds of dollars per copy
(NT)? Microsoft says total cost of ownership should be the real
measuring stick when it comes to dollars. But it seems doubtful
that NT would win even on that front.”
