Yeah, I don't read Linux Today because they often have huge Microsoft ads on their site.. I consider them traitors.

They have been doing this randomly for years.

Windows servers recover from security attacks faster than Linux servers?

Do the weekly critical updates count as recovery now? :-P

every part of that ad has things left out (and on purpose)
It's funny that the microsoft studies always show there best side or just slanted somehow, just like the article i read earlier about linux having more security vulnerabilities than windows...if the study had been fair on both sides, i would have shook my head and said ok, but it obviously was not...I was going to link it but now I can't find it
oh well hopefully you have already read it
