Microsoft internal slideshow for retailers targets Linux07 September 2009 - 22:59
It's no secret that companies will do anything to get ahead of their competitors. It's a given, especially in the world of business. Never-the-less, it always seems to stir up a bit of fuss when the tactics are revealed to the public, regardless of what form they're in. A member of the Overclock.net forums (link goes to a mirror, as the original has gone down due to exceeded bandwidth), who is an employee of Best Buy, has uploaded slides from a Microsoft presentation intended for the company, showing what they want workers to say about Linux.
Many "OS expert" comments follow the presentation...
