Microsoft attack Linux at the retail level

[Jordan Rudderham]

I think you're entirely correct. Having to make this sort of quiz for  
best buy belies how weak their position must be and how worried  
they've become with Linux cutting into their profits.

I think I can safely say they're wasting their time though. Working at  
best buy for a year and a half, I never had a single customer ask me  
about Linux ( though I did have a few offer it to me though, and long- 
story short, that's how I ended up here =P). Plus, anyone who is  
interested in obtaining Linux will probably only have heard of it  
through a friend who will make sure this sort of misinformation  
campaign will not succeed. Not to mention Microsoft should be more  
worried about businesses and governments switching to Linux. Anyone  
know what became of that lawsuit in Quebec that was over the  
provincial government not choosing the cheaper, open-source option?
