Comparing prices skips software freedom

[STYMA, ROBERT E (ROBERT)]

Along the same lines, Microsoft took out a full page
add in the March 2 edition of PC Magazine which
shows that "Linux was found to be over 10 times more
expensive than Windows Server 2003".  Both boxes were
used to serve files and web pages.  Closer examination
shows that the Windows server was running "on two
900 MHz Intel Xeon CPU's".  The one Linux Image was
running on "two z900 mainframe CPU's".  I find it strange
to use a big IBM mainframe to serve some files and
web pages and nothing else.  (This was on page 37 of
the magazine).  You can see more of this baloney at
microsoft.com/getthefacts  (lies).

By the same logic, why would anyone ever by a bulldozer
or end loader when a Geo Metro gets you to work just fine
for much less money and better gas mileage.

Microsoft must be really worried about Linux to publish
such junk.
