| Lately there has been a HUGE push by Certified Microsoft
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| Professionals and their companies to call clients and warn
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| them of the dangers of open source. This week I received calls
| from 4 different customers that they were warned that they are
| dangerously insecure because they run Open Source Operating
| systems or Software because 'anyone can read the code and hack
| you with ease' they are being told. Other colleagues in the area
| also have noticed this about 3 Microsoft Partners or so they claim
| have been going out of their way to strike fear of OSS in
| companies that respond with 'yes we use Open source or Linux'
| when the sales call comes in.
