I'm forwarding my response to a Yorktown High School LUG posting: On Tue, Dec 23, 2003 at 09:25:59AM -0500, [email protected] wrote: > I'm not sure if you guys saw this on Slashdot over the weekend or not, but > check it out: > http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/12/21/1655257&mode=thread&tid=106&tid=109&tid=185&tid=187 As at least a couple of Slashdot users have said, I'm suspicious of their motives. In particular the question on the survey regarding "improvements you'd like to see in Linux". While there certainly are some, I see answering that question as just giving Microsoft ammunition for further FUD. (And since we now have a wolf in the fold, I decided not to send this to the entire YHSLUG list.) They don't need a survey. All they need to do is LOOK AROUND THEM. There's no secret to why Linux users prefer Linux. (Heck, Microsoft could ask their own in-house developers and probably get a good answer.) -- Kevin Cole | Key ID: 0xE6F332C7 Gallaudet University | WWW: http://gri.gallaudet.edu/~kjcole/ Hall Memorial Bldg S-419 | V/TTY: (202) 651-5135 Washington, D.C. 20002-3695 | FAX: (202) 651-5746 _______________________________________________ Subscription and Archive: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/open-source-now-list/ - For K12OS technical help join K12OSN: <https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn>
