1. Comment - OSDL Declines Linux vs. Windows Study

   (Sep 1, 2005 - 5:37 AM)

   That reversed quote makes no sense, since Linux is a software kernel, and not a company.
   That's what the "who is linux ?" question wanted to point out, I guess.
   
   Linux not being a company, I don't see the point on spending money on such studies...
   Microsoft has an interest in spending money for advertising its products, to increase its revenue which is definitly not a goal of the OSDL.
   The only people who would have an interest in doing that are people at Redhat, Mandriva, Linspire... but then they would not talk about 'Linux' but specifically about their OWN product.
   
   Btw, let's imagine a sample conversation between microsoft and OSDL :
   
   msft: hey, let's fund a study to show which is better between windows and linux
   osdl: why would i do that ? i don't care which is better. and even if i did, better at what ? it needs years and experienced users to see if an OS is ADAPTED to a certain use...
