After the "Get the Facts" campaign had begun, OSDL learned their lesson. When
a benchmark was proposed, which would compare Linux and Windows
head-to-head, OSDL backed off. The head of OSDL said that Microsoft could
find 1 line in a 100-page report and invest many millions in voicing that
sentence. Same scanrio above.

Best wishe,
