"Microsoft's most recent anti-Linux FUD efforts are perhaps its most pathetic ever.
...
Here's the bottom line: no matter what Microsoft may claim, if you want to get the most from an older system, there's a Linux distribution out there for you. Suggesting that Windows XP or Server 2003 is a reasonable alternative is simply a bad joke."

Now this is what I call: GET THE FACTS!!!!

Yeah no kidding, Microsoft is the biggest bunch of liars I've met in my life, sure there has been liars like the nazis and bastards like them, I've been familiar with Windows since 3.1, and even back with those brand new machines running 3.1, it ran slow compared to other stuff like the UNIXes of that era.
Sadly, I guess that a lot people will, as with the "Get The Fact" campaign, just eat this shit up and believe it, "because Microsoft's own Linux-lab says so"......
