Parent article: Windows device development faster, cheaper than Linux? (Register)

The Register is a UK based news site - 'Signing on with Satan' is just a piece of typical English sarcasm, which should be read with tongue in cheek. The Reg people are highly cynical about virtually every company in the IT industry (e.g. they call the Itanium 'Itanic' and are quite rude about Sun), so this is not just anti-Microsoft although it may look like it on this one article. Not so much unprofessional journalism as using colourful language to make an impact and entertain the reader. Given how dry IT news is, this is no bad thing IMO.

As someone else said, the Reg article seems to take the study in good faith - I'm rather more suspicious of whether the cases used were biased to Windows CE.
