From the Juicy Steak of a Rant dept.:
This type of thing absolutely never ceases to amaze me. This person can’t possibly be so out of touch with reality that he actually believes what he is saying here. I mean, I’m sure he sat down with a room full of PR experts and actually brainstormed this stuff. That is the only plausible explanation. Obviously they know that anything they say reflects on Microsoft. Any opinion he expresses, then (especially having taken Martin Taylor’s place, who left this past week), you KNOW will have to be in absolute line with Microsoft’s standpoint, no matter what it is.

What am I talking about? I just read this li’l story about Mr. Bill Hilf, the guy who succeeded Martin Taylor this past week at M$. He claims that “Linux No Threat To Windows On Desktop.� Mr. Hilf, you must be new, there, tiger.

....Let’s see, you mean it is losing steam because Massachusetts has banned Microsoft Office? Because there have been more Linux-related expos this year than any other year? Because Microsoft now uses Linux in their wireless networks? Because the Belgian government has banned Microsoft Office? Because Munich, Germany migrated over 12,000 desktops to Linux? Because Venezuela is also switching to Linux? How about the adoption rate of Linux in China right now? What do you have to say about the heavy usage of Linux in the Armed Forces of the United States?
