So, I get this e-mail from a co-worker at the office. He tells me to go check out a M$ site at http://www.microsoft.ca/getthefacts . I do, and see that there's a link to send away for a free Windows vs. Linux evaluation kit.

Okay, so let's see what they've got to say... Well, I click on the link and I get this:



Man, I laughed my *ss off!

Hey, Micro$oft, you want some facts?! I've got a good one for your right here. Your server system sucks!

:lol:

I wouldn't use IE if you paid me. :D

Actually, Konqueror has the ability to disguise itself as several other web browsers. So, even making the site think I'm using IE, the message still came up.

Besides, wouldn't you think M$ would build this particular web page to work with Linux? Of course, being M$ doesn't mean they know how to properly code a webpage.
