Linux wins, but Microsoft rules (CIOL)
[Posted September 12, 2003 by corbet]
CIOL (India) has
an article about
desktop Linux sales as a cover for use of pirated Microsoft products.
"
CNS investigation reveals that many a customer, who found the
Linux-based machines attractive because of the price factor felt that it
was not the same as a Microsoft loaded PC. So they did the next best thing
and bought pirated copies of Microsoft software. While none of the vendors
were willing to go on record, most of them said that they have long
suspected such actions." This is the second article on this theme
in a week now; coincidence?
