Gee...I wonder why the MS setup is cheaper?
nomorems | 08/25/04

Yes, when you make a false claim by doctoring the test, it IS illegal...
mykmlr@... | 08/26/04

The UK must be clueless.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/25/04

Windows runs on a z900?
No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/25/04
|
|
No, but Linux runs on x86. Maybe you didn't realize that???
DonnieBoy | 08/25/04
|
|
Sort of...
No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/25/04
|
|
But they were trying to say "Linux" was 10x more expensive.

Then why'd you suggest it?
voska | 08/25/04
|
|
I suggested nothing.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/25/04
|

Ok, I suggest running them both on x86 for a good comparison.
DonnieBoy | 08/25/04

No

Linux servers increasing, and so are Windows servers
Anton Philidor | 08/26/04

Yeah, it's kind of gray
brble | 08/25/04

Yes, but intentionally mis-leading ads are illegal.
DonnieBoy | 08/25/04
|
|
But, ALL ads are misleading...
No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/25/04

Not really
Patrick Jones | 08/26/04

For Microsoft, the problem is the bad publicity.
DonnieBoy | 08/25/04

True, I think 99% of all ads suck.

This must not be false then:
The King's Servant | 08/25/04
|
|
which is where I saw the problem
Monkey_MCSE | 08/25/04
|
|
The point is they are both free!
The King's Servant | 08/25/04
|

Monkey_MCSE | 08/25/04
