But one thing disturbed me:
Amongst various parameters by which MS graded an Operating System in
their
anti-Linux Training materials issued to BestBuy employees, was whether
Windows or Linux include games e.g. World of Wizard, or some other junk,
iPOD's/camera compatibility, VIDEO CHAT (!!!), and other utter nonsense
for a business/professional!

SNIP

What's really bad is World of Warcraft is easy to run on Linux.

Apparently no one at MS can use a linux box.

Not entirely true. A Microsoft sales biggot visited us and was doing the
usual open source bashing. So infront of the CFO and a room full of
influence I demo'ed how open source BSD was keeping Windows safe. Needless
to say the sales bigot was cracking jokes.

So I said I bet you run more Linux and open source than Microsoft OSes! He
said no way. I asked him what wireless router, TV DVD/DVR he used and what
cell phome he used. I also asked how many PCs he had at home. He stated
one he carries for work and one for the family.

So I pulled up google and with one search showed he had 3 instances of Linux
to his two claimed instances of M$-Windows. He was very red faced and quiet
there after.

CFO even made some good comments saying he got a hell of a deal with that
barganing chip and even made open source OK, 1/2 use OpenOffice.... ;)
