[ILUG] Linux is more expensive than Windows

[Dermot Daly]

I Love what Linux Format had to say about Microsoft's "Cheaper than
Linux" campaign.  They quote ghandi:
First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then the fight you
Then you win.

It seems that the fight stage is no well underway.

Heheh - Let the games begin.

Before she was a SCO shill, she was a reliable rent-a-quote factory for
Microsoft Corp. over many years.  Summary:  Nothing new here.  Move
along.
