Microsoft is scared of Lindows OS

[Texstar]

Check this out... What's happening is that Microsoft sales reps have been instructed to be on the lookout for any businesses that are migrating some of their machines to the Lindows OS," Yankee Group analyst Laura DiDio told NewsFactor. "If [the sales reps] think there's a real threat of some pretty large numbers of defections to open source, they can request authorization from Microsoft higher-ups to offer steeply discounted pricing."

Thank you for the link.

Years ago, a bunch of MS reps were trying to give a presentation. The projector failed and so they gave free product to everyone in the room. Guess that is one way to buy loyalty.

Now, Mr. Jobs was speaking at a NEXT convention when the sound went out. Upon the return of the sound, he commented that all of the good sound engineers must have been hired by MS.
