Microsoft Linux Facts
January 6th, 2004Microsoft has a new campaign to provide corporations with “the facts you need to make the choice between Windows and Linux”.
One of their facts, titled “WinTel Server 10 Times Less Expensive to Operate Than Linux Mainframe”, says:
Microsoft-sponsored benchmarks prove that multiple WinTel Web servers perform better than a Linux mainframe acting as a Web server consolidator
An odd comparison to be sure, like comparing apples to orchards. How do multiple WinTel Web servers stack up against multiple Intel Linux Web servers, I wonder?
By leading off with such transparently evasive comparisons, I’m really not encouraged to attach any credence to the rest of their arguments, however valid. I can’t say that I really even care to read on to the meat when the headlines and intro blurbs make their assessment of my intelligence pretty clear.
Linux zealot!
Yes he is, thank God!!!
