@osnewsfellow The debian guy can not compete with MS in the goverment sector but Suse can. The small guy feels himself great if he can snatch away some crumbs from Suse atleast in the (smaller) linux part of the market. Nobody would have listened to that if he would have gone to the press today where the big guys show they muscles going for the big market shares.
Pulling in some helper arguments is a nice idea in the term of marketroid tactics but nationalist favourisms are really at the very low end of the points that a decision maker is possibly thinking about. The first points are money, again money, quality, integration, technology acceptance, and few hundred other things that should be cared about. The overall effect is neglible for the big market and therefore nobody in the world can test/falsify the claim of that guy related to the crumbs for which he offers commercial services. With the news today nobody does even care to try: it's unimportant.
