I Dont Get It
On Linuxplanet.com there's a static Microsoft advertisement about how WIndows Server2003 outperforms Linux. Thats like having an advertisement for atheism in the middle of the Bible. LOL!! Why would a website allow that?

plenty of reasons really.
Many people see it as funny and ironic that they are being given money by M$ for an add they are confident all the members will ignore. The admins mightn't notice They might be contractually obliged by some ad deal or other. |

Interesting answer Chris. Interesting link XavierP. And my :twocents: is Harry Potter fake crap continues to add to the fact that Linux proves better because the registry in doz is not salvageable... But that's OK with me! No Doz How about you?

What really gets me is when Slashdot carry Microsoft ads. For those who don't know, Slashdot is a very vehement pro-linux tech news site, who have a reputation for instantly hating anything MS are involved with.
On /., the MS ads are very definately ironic. In general, I don't think boycott tactics (as the article mentions) or censoring pro-MS ads are a good idea. Anyone with some tech knowhow understands the pros and cons of Linux vs. Windows, and anyone with any common sense knows never to trust advertising. (PS - I saw Harry Potter atPoA last night -- it was fun. This fact is not at all relevent to the discussion, I just wanted to show off ;)). |
