As you can guess, it's really focussed on > downplaying Linux as possible competition for MS-based solutions. From the > tone of it, it looks like there is some serious concerns about Linux from the > boys in Redmond.

There > is even - and this is *really* hilariously stupid - a multiple choice game at > the end of the CD where you have to answer a fictitious client's questions > about Linux. You score points by clicking on the answers that dismiss Linux as > a viable enterprise solution. I know some people here at the office (and those > folks are primarily an MS-centered business) had a good laugh about this. Anyone get or can get one of these cds? I'd like to read what MS says and I'd like to be able to dismiss their dismissal of Linux. :-) -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
