they are at war with Gnu/Linux and of course like in any war they use propaganda. so why you guys are so surprised... microsoft+money+massmedia+propaganda+dumbusers_that_belive===they_got_what_they_want. they don't care if is true or not. as long they can base it on something. we should know this by now after so many years of microsoft using the media and events to raise their flags, I still remember the windows95 world campaign.! OMG I really almost kick my TV. J/k.

But I'm sure Microsoft funds a lot of these studies. (Remember the "NT is faster than Linux" fiction a while back?) I'm sure most of them come up with the "wrong" answer and are never made public. It's interesting how small of an advantage Microsoft is claiming here. -- ReK2WiLdS <cfernandez at voicesignal.com>
