As has been noted in one of the other postings, yes,
the site is a joke. There is a follow-up on the above:

http://www.shelleytherepublican.com/2006/05/linux-and-windows-compared-facts.html

The above compares RedHat 3 against Micro$oft's latest
offerings and is written by a guy who:

"For starters my credentials; I am a former IT manager
from a major city in Oklahoma. I am also
vice-president of IT for our regional Prayer Team.
Some years ago I'm proud to say that I graduated as a
Microsoft Certified Engineer; I have a wide
understanding of both technical and business computing
issues. I am sure you will agree that I am
exceptionally qualified to speak on this subject."

In other words, to put things nicely, the guy comes
across as a total jerk... A total jerk who is trolling
for Linux fans...
