Au contraire i used the announcement to bag two good projects. U know how weak M$ is on the tech front - no 64 bit os, no database, no web server, no security- they are obsolete and are cruising at treetop height with no engine power. So they have to use the wolds best software, like they did in 95. And u customer sir is the sucker funding this scam. The funny part is that most scam funders are beneficaries. U otoh are it's vicitim many times over.
Indian managers and sadly, major number of techies do not care to keep themselves informed and get scared by such FUD. This leads to "Linux is illegal you know, so there's another reason not to use it".
Depends on how u spin the fud. It helps that the idiots who run it depts cant read.
Later on the same big company got beaten by another that went on to become one of the biggest names in the industry. No names please.
I wont Bet Money on this.
