Stopping Linux Desktop Adoption Sabotage

Mark Brunelli, News Editor writes "Outspoken IT consultant John H. Terpstra believes that Microsoft and electronics manufacturers are working together to hinder the adoption of Linux on the desktop. In a three part series, he tells a story about how two guys trying to buy Linux desktops found they were overpriced, and lacked certain tools. He then describes how Microsoft uses its considerable resources and the law to create such roadblocks. (Part 2, Part 3)"

the odd thing is I've noticed that Firefox has started to randomly crash on my Windows XP desktop at work. It worked great up until they started rolling out every freaking Microsoft patch under the sun. Makes you wonder if this isn't DRDOS all over again.
