This bogus document was created by Microsoft's anti-Linux
propaganda team, and is published by its agents at least once
a month in this newsgroup. In this case, the post was forged
in the name of a Linux advocate. Microsoft customers should
be aware that some of the money paid for MS software goes to
hire sociopaths to write and distribute material like this.
Here is an excerpt from the Microsoft document "Generalized
Evangelism Timeline" that was revealed in a lawsuit, showing
that it is Microsoft policy to publish such lies:
"Ideally, use of the competing technology becomes associated
with mental deficiency, as in, `he believes in Santa Claus,
the Easter Bunny, and OS/2.' Just keep rubbing it in, via the
press, analysts, newsgroups, whatever. Make the complete
failure of the competition's technology part of the mythology
of the computer industry."

From the Microsoft Evangelism document used on the Comes court case:
PDF page 45:
"/Mopping up/. During the mopping-up phase, ensure that the
enemy technology is routed. Use the press, the Internet, etc. to
heighten the impression that the enemy is desperate, demoralized,
defeated, deceased."
PDF page 55:
"/11: Mopping up/"
"In the Mopping Up phase, Evangelism's goal is to put the final
nail into the competing technology's coffin, and bury it in the
burning depths of the earth. Ideally, use of the competing
technology becomes associated with mental deficiency, as in, "he
believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and OS/2." Just keep
rubbing it in, via the press, analysts, newsgroups, whatever.
make the complete failure of the competition's technology part of
the mythology of the computer industry. We want to place
selection pressure on the companies and individuals that show a
genetic weakness for competitor's technologies, to make the
industry increasingly resistant to such unhealthy strains, over
time."
