Didn't Microsoft go around pointing at the accessibility of GNU/Linux code as part of their FUD campaign?
If I remember correctly, they were asserting that businesses couldn't risk switching to Linux because
it would be too easy for someone to backdoor the code.

Also, add to the list- SCO FUD, Microsoft to counter Security "attack", GNU, kernel, Debian, Gentoo...

An interesting convergence of events to say the least!
