Not entirely true. A Microsoft sales biggot visited us and was doing the
usual open source bashing. So infront of the CFO and a room full of
influence I demo’ed how open source BSD was keeping Windows safe. Needless
to say the sales bigot was cracking jokes.
So I said I bet you run more Linux and open source than Microsoft OSes! He
said no way. I asked him what wireless router, TV DVD/DVR he used and what
cell phome he used. I also asked how many PCs he had at home. He stated
one he carries for work and one for the family.
So I pulled up google and with one search showed he had 3 instances of Linux
to his two claimed instances of M$-Windows. He was very red faced and quiet
there after.
CFO even made some good comments saying he got a hell of a deal with that
barganing chip and even made open source OK, 1/2 use OpenOffice…. 😉
