Re: Dear Microsoft.

-> who doesn't remember the "The Truth About Linux"

That works both ways. The Linux mob were claiming that Linux outperformed Windows NT back in 1999. I remember this. I was in the business at the time. Mindcraft did an independent test, and showed that Windows NT outperformed Linux. The penguins booed and hissed and grumbled, and complained about the tests. The tests were unfair, they said. HA HA HA.

Another test was done. This time there were penguins from Red Hat present. Again Windows NT outperformed Linux. STILL the penguins complained. In a lovely bit sour penguin food, some Linux penguin that although true it was not relevant. HA HA HA.

You can read more about it here.

Eventually Linus Torvalds admitted it and said it should be considered a bug. So great bolshy yarblockos to your own FUD.
