    "The UK Advertising Standards Authority has upheld
    complaints that Microsoft misled consumers by running advertisements
    claiming Linux is 10 times more expensive than Windows. The print
    advertisements used "independent research"


    Next bring that ruling to the U.S.!
    I'm sick of seeing articles about how Linux has such a higher TCO, and that Linux stifles innovation.

    Any idiot knows that companies like Microsoft are the ones stifling innovation, open source allows for endless innovation.

    Now, be honest. Did you really think they wouldn't try to Dirty the name of thier closest Competition??? It's pretty Un-Hip of those Redmond bastards. They are starting to give Washington State, a bad name. But, save Boeing! They could use the jobs.
