WHY? Posted Sep 15, 2003 16:20 UTC (Mon) by mmarq (guest, #2332) [Link] Good analises.But M$ previous atempts to FUD were unbalanced (cancer, anti-american) or of dubious technical merits (diversity of Linux, speed, "value" of the software), in which we can include the TCO question, were all directed to smaller audiences that by its nature are pro-active and technical aware... ALL SOMEHOW BACKFIRED TO M$... Calling Linux/OSS thieves is "HEAVY GUN", and if was easy to predict a massive attack from the M$, by proxy or not, i guess we are witnessing the begining of that assault with the cover of the "majority of press" which is controlled by the powers that stand to lose if M$ goes belly up. DONT COUNT TO MUCH ON THE PRESS FOR IMPARCIALITY OR TRUTH... And have no ilusions, in the end either M$ wins clearly and everybody else lose, or Linux/OSS wins clearly and M$ loses,..., there will be no negotiations or middle ground!... SCO has lost its focus and is now to burn, and -"M$ POWERS"- (like DRM/Paladium + Press) will direct a more sofisticated (like bribing big IT operations) attack themselfs!... COULD PROVE TO BE TOUGH BECAUSE WITH THE POWER OF PRESS ALL ON ONE SIDE, WOULD BE LIKE LINUX/OSS IS AGAINST THE ALL WORLD.
