M$ adds on Linux Today

I got a real chuckle, or rather a gagging sensation, when I opened
Linux TOday to read the news a few moments ago. They're running a big
M$ Crap/Infomercial that's almost the same width as the regular news.
The ads tout that tired old lie that it takes more personnel to run
Linux than Windows. Sickening.

I'd like to see an M$ shop run 120+ desktops and 30 servers like we do
with only 2 engineers. And to top it all off, they should try it with
Win98 since most of our systems are running ancient RH9. Of course we
don't do Email, and the corporate staff that handles the Exchange crap
is certainly not 2 engineers! We average about one OS-related problem
every 3 months for all of these systems.

      the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not
      smart enough to debug it.
