Re: MS Teaches Best Buy Employees how to troll linux

They didn't state anything specifically false.  Linux doesn't have access to things like Windows Genuine Advantage.  It can't download updates to Office 2k7.

And (l)users are always the problem.

No Nuxi, no war. They want us to stoop to that level. 

I agree with Phil, we should maybe take some of these "incorrect" facts that Windows 7 is pushing out and think of some ways around campus to promote and educate people on linux. Maybe take some time this coming meeting???? What you think Tall Matt?
