Any comments by the topic starter? Or anything other to start a disscussion?
This is a disscussions board. It is known that Windows started a compain against Linux long time ago, so why just posting two links?

I just saw this advertised somewhere, and I thought it was funny.

The "Get the Facts" campaign has been going on for a while. I enjoy the fact that with their ads Microsoft pays for many sites I visit. I don't believe them entirely, however.
The fatal flaw of such studies is that they include migration costs from Windows to Linux but do not include the equivalent costs from Linux to Windows. It's assumed that you already know Windows. I have yet to see a convincing, fair performance comparison either.
Hotmail was migrated to IIS from Apache on FreeBSD. It was quite an undertaking.

They probably dump a big legal sue on the guy that forced him to close the site.

What if really, Windows decided to make a full distro using Linux?
I can just see Bill Gates now, saying, "Well sir, if we can't beat them, join them." Then he has this awkward, eerie, eeeeeerie smile on his face and all that resounds in the background is this quote from The Simpsons:
"You didn't think I got rich by writing a bunch of cheques did you?"
For all enjoyment purposes: MS Linux?

Yeah, I would LOVE to see a real initiate to Linux try and understand what's going on. Especially when he's been using Windows hardcore for 6+ years.
If you take children and grow them up on each platform, independantly, I believe the child using Linux would be able to use Windows, however, vice-versa? *shrugs*
We're not just talking conversion costs for platforms, but training, etc.
