Microsoft is hosting a discussion on Windows and Linux between its two top Linux consultants. Martin Taylor and Bill Hilf talk about the various OS "We believe the way to integrate software, and the way to get software to work in a heterogeneous environment, is through promoting open standards" a Funny response of a slashdotter below.... so true and more to read here Can somebody hit Bill with a clue-by-four and ask him about 1. Samba, and why the Samba project had to reverse-engineer everything? 2. Microsoft Office, and the hoops OpenOffice.org had to jump through to reverse-engineer their document storage format? 3. NTFS, and why Linux still can't support NTFS write natively (without using a MS DLL)? 4. All the hidden system calls that Microsoft uses internally, and which came up in the anti-trust case? shame on You M$ more comments, all credits to authors on www.slashdot.org --- a brief synopsys? FUD Corporate-speak FUD Slick FUD Unbelievably clumsy and obvious FUD Laughable FUD Bone to the FOSS community FUD Conclusion: FUD --- Discussion = earnest conversation. Propaganda = The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause. --- foreach ($potential_problem) (@linux){ print "Linux is okay but it has this $potential_problem\n"; print "Yes, and I think you can see that Microsoft addresses this $potential_problem to the benefit of our customers!\n"; }
