“Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead”

Microsoft’s so-called “Get the Facts” site trumpeted long and hard how well Windows compared with Linux for TCO, at times making almost fantastic claims about how inexpensive Windows was compared to a totally free product like Linux.

In what could be a sign of a kinder-gentler relationship with Linux, Microsoft recently took this decrepit site out back and drove a stake through it’s heart.

The site has been replaced by a Windows Server Comparison site, much less controversial and flame-worthy.

R.I.P., or as my co-worker commented: “R.I.H.”
