Try this:

In Google, type 'windows 2008 is superior to linux' without quotation marks. My first result (google redirects me to google.nl though) is:

Well, then I guess Windows 2008 just isn't superior to Linux anyway. If it was true, Google should have found the resources proving it, not?

It almost makes me want to abuse our Google rating by typing "Discover how FooBar, Europe's largest retailer found Red Hat Linux has a 40% lower TCO than Microsoft Windows Server 2008" here for more than hundred times, and then see what Google finds for me tomorrow if I type the same again.

Google obviously gives quite a bit of weight to LXer comments and indexes them quickly.

I just looked at the LXer statistics, and "Windows 2008 is superior to Linux" is now one of the most important Google searches linking to LXer. Unbelievable Google has a higher market value on the stock market than IBM in my opinion, but again, who am I?

Considering the statement made by the phrase being linked by Google, someone really ought to start using the phrase "Linux is superior to Windows 2008". After all, we really want Google to index "Linux is superior to Windows 2008" as much or more than the other phrase. And furthermore, if someone stumbles upon the other phrase, then they may search for "Linux is superior to Windows 2008" as well. And, if they do, we don't want "Linux is superior to Windows 2008" lacking on this thread. Do we?

Oh, as an aside, I actually believe that Linux is superior to Windows 2008.

Wow. I knew some people in France where old fashioned, but are they that behind in France?

Well, my Google search "Linux is superior to Windows 2008" did match documents. Actually, it links back to this LXer thread, probably because anyone over here mentioned "Linux is superior to Windows 2008". You can try the Google search. Just Google for "Linux is superior to Windows, or click the link; [url=http://www.google.com/search?q="Linux is superior to Windows 2008"]http://www.google.com/search?q="Linux is superior to Windows...[/url] . You should find the first result "Linux is superior to Windows 2008" points back to this thread. Now, you wouldn't believe "Linux is superior to Windows 2008", would you? But if Google has results for it, Linux has to be superior to Windows 2008". And if it has to be, it probably is. Or in other words, "Linux is superior to Windows 2008".
