Haha Microsoft.
You fail.
I believe microsoft is writing this from the average, computer-illeterate bonehead's point of view (as in aimed at them). I know pretty much nothing about linux, so I can't really defend it, but it sounds like evn from that point of view they're exaderating a good bit.
Wow, someone lied in a marketing campaign?
BREAKING NEWS!
All the pictures display a proud 'bandwidth exceeded'.
So I work at Best Buy (insert boos and hisses) and I was doing some Microsoft ExpertZone training.Quote:

Here are screenshots of the lies Microsoft is portraying.

Okay so this one isn't so bad.

Again, this one isn't so bad either.

Okay so here's where it starts getting bad.
No iPod support? Really? And the Zune doesn't work on the Mac either although there has been some progress from the Linux community. And I've never had any problems pulling pictures from cameras.
I've yet to see a printer that doesn't have a driver. You might have to download it from the products website though (gasp!).
Yeah yeah. Software. Although WINE has been vastly improving lately (we even got around that stupid Secu-ROM).
There are free alternatives to all of the Windows Live "essentials".
WOW. Of all the games to mention, they mention World of Warcraft. I wrote a tutorial on how to get WoW running on Linux not to long ago. Its probably the easiest game to set up with in WINE.
Authorized support? Well you have Red Hat and Canonical, oh I guess you can count Novell...
Video chat with Pidgin? Or Skype?
I don't have time to refute the rest, but I'll post the screenies.

Really, this is about as surprising as going to a Young-Earth Creationist forum and hearing a bunch of lies about Evolution.
Haha, quite a few lies there.

I guess they forgot to mention viruses
Yeah, I don't know if Linux is harder to hack/infect or not, but they sure don't experience the problem much.Quote:
