Advert came on earlier. It was done in the same style as IBM. It showed employees getting confused becuase no one is using the same operating system. Then it came up, People ready software from Microsoft, and the women starts smilling becuase she can find the customers records.

You dont fool me Microsoft. If this is your dig @ Open Source, your losing the battle, your slowly losing your grip.

Lets hope we see more stories of organisations, education, goverments switching to Linux to prove to the wider community that you dont need to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds for your IT.

Are Microsoft getting worried about Open Source?

It doesn't look like this campaign is going over very well. Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/2006/03/22/vista-microsoft-ballmer_cz_dl_0322microsoft.html) and Computer Business Review (http://www.cbronline.com/article_feature.asp?guid=554671FE-9FEB-471D-9350-07C44146D62C) have already ridiculed it. They bring up some very good points, too.

Are Microsoft getting worried about Open Source?Yes.
