Microsoft Offers BestBuy Employees Anti-Linux Training

Linked by Jordan Spencer Cunningham on Tue 8th Sep 2009 21:21 UTC, submitted by wakeupneo

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.

I believe Best Buy employees don't work on commission. I think that's one of their selling points. That the staff won't pressure you because they don't work on commission

No but they do work on metrics...which are just as bad as commissions. You may not earn extra money for a sale, but you might lose your job if you don't sell enough.

Thanks for pointing that out. I live in a country without Best Buy.
