Microsoft has restarted its campaign to spread FUD — fear, uncertainty, and doubt — about the Linux operating system. A very nice comment on the latest barrage can be found here.
Vista is yet another huge attempt to reverse disaggregation by Microsoft; in this case, by modifying computer hardware and software to incorporate the business models prefered by large media companies. Aside from limiting flexibility and creativity, and even aside from the fact these modifications haven't worked correctly, the expense for new hardware and software falls on the consumer while the consumer gains nothing from them. I'll hazard a guess that the continuing failure of Vista to gain traction in the workplace has Microsoft searching for other ways to persuade businesses to move to Vista.
