LinuxPlanet: Microsoft is Scared of the Penguinistas!

Never ask a lawyer to do a penguin’s work.

“In a weirdly phrased technical posting from Support Services,
Microsoft insinuates — but doesn’t come right out and say — that
if you want to run the upcoming Windows 2000, you’ll need to delete
Linux from your PC.”

“Is Linux such a threat to the big, bad monopoly that Microsoft
must resort to out-and-out deception to battle the inevitable? Has
our rag-tag army of open-source evangelists and penguinistas
managed to do what the U.S. Justice Department, a sea of lawyers,
and the full force of the U.S. government failed to do: bring down
the Evil Empire of Redmond? Apparently so. This technical posting
from Microsoft reeks of fear.”
