[News] The Anti-Linux FUD Approach is Losing Credibility

,----[ Quote ]
| I saw the most evidence of this in the coverage of the Yankee Group
| survey, when reporters talked to other sources and in some cases detailed
| the survey's link between Yankee and the Sunbelt Group, a predominantly
| Microsoft-based consultancy. In the past, many journalists would accept
| the results of these types of surveys as is. Now, they are looking at
| them all with a big grain of salt. Not that they are becoming decidedly
| pro-Linux, mind you, but they are starting to question methods and
| sponsorship more and more. Good for them, I say.

| 
| Whether you believe this is all a concerted effort or not, the fact is
| that we will be seeing a lot more individual calls against Linux as
| Linux becomes more popular and started to encroach more on Windows
| territory. This has been expected, and we are seeing it now. It will
| take some time, because it is coming from so many individuals, but
| ultimately I think this will die down, as bloggers, analysts, and
| pundits begin to realize that the FUD approach is not working as well.
| 
| People are not afraid, uncertain, or doubtful about Linux anymore.
| And they're wondering what all the naysayers are trying to hide.
