This quote from the site by way of cnet is dripping with irony.
 
"The `We have the way out' campaign describes Unix as an expensive
trap. One ad reads: `No wonder Unix makes you feel boxed in. It ties
you to an inflexible system. It requires you to pay for expensive
experts. It makes you struggle daily with a server environment that's
more complex than ever.' "

How much more flexible can you get than open source, and do they
consider MSCEs to be exensive experts? I suppose it is easier to
believe a big lie.
