It hurts when you post a supposedly positive Linux article and just a
little investigating shows that it is indeed more of a clusterfsck doesn't
it.
I'll bet you wish you never posted that one.
Talk about backfiring!
3 1/2 years, 100 users at a cost of 27.3 million Euros.
Now that's what I call a great success for LIEnux!!!
So great in fact, that I took the liberty to send the article to Microsoft.
I'll bet they can't wait to use it in their "Get The Facts" campaign...
Thanks for posting it Roy, because I never would have seen it otherwise.
