For more than ten years, there's been a huge flood of lying anti-Linux propaganda posts sent to COLA, about 500,000 of them. Almost all have been posted via anonymous false identities, like "Lt Cmdr. Gaston J. Feeblebunny".
There is one, and only one, entity that has attacked Linux over and over again, by many different means, including anonymous propaganda messages, false advertising, fraudulent lawsuits, etc., for fifteen years, and that is the Microsoft Corporation. It has spent well over $100,000,000 doing this. In 1998, it was found that a flood of pro-Microsoft propaganda messages with fake identities were being posted to Usenet actually from within the microsoft.com domain, by paid Microsoft employees: http://everything2.com/title/Microsoft+grassroots+support The flood of propaganda messages, mostly attacking Linux, using every variety of lie, obscenity, personal attack, etc, has never stopped. But the senders have since employed various techniques to prevent the messages from being traced back to their source. I've compiled a page of links to articles detailing Microsoft's years of attacks on Linux (which have used many more techniques than just propaganda messages): http://cosmicpenguin.com/linux/MICROSOFTS_WAR_AGAINST_LINUX.html If you read through the sites linked on that page, you'll get an idea of the extent of evil perpetrated by the Microsoft Corporation, even though I've only referenced its attacks on Linux; the company has done many other bad things as well. Seeing all the references together on one page has a powerful effect. One can't say, "That's just a single incident." You can see that it's a WAR. Apparently the Microsoft Corporation really doesn't want people to read that information, because it has posted through one of its anonymous identities a totally false warning that my site is dangerous. It's not. I don't use Javascript, Flash, or PHP, just simple HTML. Microsoft has anonymously posted similar bogus warnings against http://techrights.org , a site run by Roy Schestowitz that exposes Microsoft's crimes in great detail. Microsoft really is evil. It's hard to accept that at first, but if you read the evidence, and think about all of it together, the conclusion is inescapable. On Dec 6, 10:51 am, "Lt Cmdr. Gaston J.
