Yup. No doubt they're frothing, & trying to dispute M$'s *own* figures
to the SEC. So if M$ was lying, perhaps *they* (the wintrolls) should
inform the SEC about the company *they* supposedly support.
They must also have missed the bit about M$ hiring an Open Source
Desktop Strategy Czar to lead Microsoft’s global desktop competitive
strategy regarding open source competitors.
Really, are they going to that expense if Linux *was* only at 1%!
Maybe some of these wintrolls are some of the 5,000 employees M$ laid
off due to (what M$ themselves blame as) Open Source success.
In any event these wintrolls must be an embarressment to the company
they purport to support.
