A great editorial article discussing the eruption of Linux-related FUD brought on by huge corporations that fear the little penguin that could.

FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) is defined on wikipedia.org as a "tactic of rhetoric used in sales, marketing and public relations....a strategic attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative (and vague) information". In layman's terms, it's a bunch of bull to scare people into doing what they want you to do.

Please lets make a new definition of FUD. 1- the 'F' : Fear of Linux Fear that they can't cope with Linux Fear that they will lose the Holy War

2--the 'U' : Uncertain of the maturity of their product. Uncertain about the future of windows Uncertain if they still will be relevant in 5 years

3- 'D' Doubt if they can ever get a decent OS together Doubt if people are any longer going to believe their propaganda

Please.........this is just for fun.

Add, change......what ever
Quoting:Add, change......what ever


Are you kidding? :-)

Its perfect just like it is!..
If I start with F, I'll get a TOS warning.
OK, so maybe its not perfect. But still!

You would get the TOS warning, but it wouldn't feel good giving it to you..
