Imagine anything in the Linux community approaching the slickness and effectiveness of Microsoft Executive Circle magazine, a publication aimed at industry decision-makers. Most in the Linux community have not the slightest clue how Microsoft reaches the business world. Sales pitches don't sound like this... > MS Guy to director of finance in big company: > Yes, we have a team of 60 developers activly working on our office suite > > Linux Guy to same: > We activly have 20k people devloping OUR office suite ... they sound more like this: MS: Here's how businesses use our technology to make their sales forces more effective. Linux: We actively have 20k people developing OUR office suite. Now really, which do you think is more effective at reaching your director of finance?
