Correct me if Iam wrong, but I don't think linux could ever really come up
and beat MS (money wise). I mean, MS took a long time to come this far, and
they didn't use their shitty OS to do it. They used hardware, software (they
have there encarda and other popular software) and also some shitty
merchandise. Linux is also free, which tells me that there not making any
money from their OS. So what does linux stay alive on? Are their people
donating money to them?

As for the add, I think MS is just being stupid. I've never really seen a
linux add telling buyers that their OS is better then a MS. Even though it
is.
