According to a leak from a BestBuy employee, Microsoft is initiating a sort of "Anti-Linux Training" course for the employees, and those who take part in the said training are rewarded with a copy of Windows 7 for only ten dollars. The leaked screenshots of the campaign show Microsoft's comparison of its own system with an obscure "Linux" and how Windows is better in every way including security, "free downloads", and software and hardware compatibility.

yeah windows 7 is nice. and as for better stability. mabey debian linux, where your software is a year behind all the new stuff coming out. windows 7 has been on my system since the release candidate and it has seriously not crashed a single time. i had the video driver quit. but it reloaded and just like that everything was ready to go again. then i upgraded my driver, and diddn't even have to reboot.
i used ubuntu for 2 years, and it is nothing near the stability of windows 7. and alot of that is the fault of the video drivers provided by ati and nvidia. but hey, open source is where the framework came from. things are only as stable as their framework. And with every driver under the sun loaded into the kernel, any bit of buggyness is going to bring it down. Linux used to have the one up on microsoft on stability. i wouldn't say that's the case anymore.
