Aren't there laws against being that misleading? If not, there ought to be. I knew MS were duplicitous, but those BestBuy presentos are something else.

In the linked article, Microsoft lets you know that they are known for free software downloads and regular updates, unlike linux. If you've not gotten to read it yet, peruse the thread. It goes a long way in explaining how stupid they assume a BestBuy customer(and employee) is. They’ve been doing it here for a while, Bert.

I guess that shows the difference in attitude toward users. Over here in Oz, there are some TV ads pushing security in WIn7. They start by pointing out problems with computer security and the things that should be better - basically providing a great argument to use Linux! Then, of course, they say that Win7 fixes all that up. I'm just waiting for the first major worm that targets Win7 to hit the headlines ....
