First off can I say Im not some sort of Opensource activist. I believe the right tools for the right job. If, after testing Linux a user prefers Vista then thats great! at least theyve reached that decision through an informed choice.
That being said, there are those (MS fans and those with a financial interest in MS) that dont want you to try the alternative, as for them it is a risked lost sale.
A good example of someone who is so full of buzz words and MS catchphrases (along with a changing career) is a chap called Andre Da Costa. He claims all sorts of things (including no connection with MS) yet his posts are textbook MS press releases. He doesnt answer questions and blankets every windows alternative argument with comments that are misleading (and sometimes offensive) for example he believes that the Opensource community is "weak minded" and describes Vista as "feature rich" making comments about "maturing to Vista"
If youre interested and/or would like to try to get this individual to answer your questions, you can see him on:
http://www.microsoft-watch.com/
(of all places)
and if you are indeed interested in seeing him in top form, a good thread to start would be:
http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/corporate/should_microsoft_buy_yahoo_now.html
He makes some cracking comments.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
