[CoLoCo] Gartner Tells Companies to Adopt Vista or Die

[Michael "TheZorch" Haney]

I'm no conspiracy theorist nor do I wear an aluminum foil hat but I've 
been noticing a distinct pattern that leads me to believe that there is 
a concerted and well organized effort to discredit Linux.  The first was 
obvious, the whole SCO debacle.  Only a fool couldn't see it for what it 
was; Microsoft fighting a proxy war against Linux via another company.  
There is the patent troll which recently surfaced that's going after Red 
Hat and its run by ... wait for it ... former Microsoft employees who 
worked in their ... wait for it ... licensing and copyright 
departments.  This came days after Steve Balmer made the claim that 
Linux violated several of Microsoft's patents yet refused to tell anyone 
what those patents were, yet again.  Then there are articles like these 
from so called industry analysts preaching about the wonders of Windows 
and spreading blatantly obvious false info about Linux (this one doesn't 
but were others that did).  Its not too improbably to believe that there 
is indeed a conscious effort behind all of this and considering Steve 
Balmer's record in Microsoft its not too far fetched to say that maybe 
this conspiracy theory is right on the money.
