Hey, you just navigate through Linux sites, and you don't expect to find such BS like what I found:

42202

And those ads are everywhere in that site

Never heard of a parody?

Look at the name of the "newspaper".

"The highly reliable times"? LOL

In some areas MS has actually gotten their crap together like IIS, it's been close to flawless since the introduction of the latest version while Apache has weekly exploit fixes.

If that is what they're talking about then it's true,.

It's a shame they have to fall below 50% market share before they actually start trying again, it just seems like they never bother actually improving anything because people will buy their **** anyway.
If they had a ~98% market share in servers I doubt IIS would be any good, but for now at least business users can get good software from them

I don't mind, keeping an Apache server up to date is still a much better solution in my opinion, but IIS has had a lot less exploits so i give credit where credit is due.

Are you stalking me?

It's not a parody. It's a real ad by Microsoft.

This isn't news, though. Did you miss the M.O.G. shenanigans w/ Linuxworld last year? Linuxworld is wholly owned by sys-con, and they exist only for pageviews. They were, for a long time, Maureen O'Gara's front. If you don't know who MOG is, then you've got some reading to do.

I dunno if less fixed exploits really means it is more secure.
