I debated between posting this with the "Linux" subject or with the "lies,
damned lies..." subject.

Microsoft has posted a page called "Linux myths", at

        http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/news/msnw/LinuxMyths.asp

For example:

        Myth: Linux is Free

        Reality: Free Operating System Does Not Mean
                 Low Total Cost of Ownership

        [plus associated "proof"]


        Myth: Linux is more secure than Windows NT

        Reality: Linux Security Model Is Weak

        [plus associated "proof"]

Certainly TCO and weak security are things MS should know about.

I looked for a smiley :-) on the page, and I checked a :SHOWTIME to see if
it's April, but failed in each case.
