The continue to criticize linux as they can't sell vista on it's merits (it
has none). They know linux can do everything vista can.
They bash ubuntu the most because of it's growing popularity.
I suspect these are just MS-drone units. Nobody likes vista PoC. Does not
mater how much Microsoft pushes vista, it is a turd. And MS-Office is a
over priced and is getting nailed by OpenOffice.
