Microsoft "Competing with Linux" sales tool

[lyons at digitalvoodoo.org (Timothy M. Lyons)]

Looks as if MS is once again attempting to arm it's resellers/partners with
new propaganda ;-}

I know a few of us go head on with proposals from MS resellers so I thought
there might be some interest in knowing what the "other guy" is telling your
potential client.
