When you're drowning you generally want to attract as much attention as possible to that fact. If you could, you would take out a full page, front page ad in the New York Times saying "I'm about to die, please help"
But is that really a sound business strategy when your company is going under? :)
Yeah, right, Anders, but.....
So now why are most of the pages I normally check on the web full of attention grabbing M$ adverts showing (purportedly) how much better M£ is compared with Linux?
Remember Stevie Smith-
"I was much too far out all my life And not waving but drowning."
Where are the heavy money adverts extolling Linux? Nowhere in comparison, as Linux sells itself.
You've seen the Linux adverts, many tens of millions of dollars worth, they are mostly by Microsoft.
Why else would "Gates will lock you in, or out" spend so much money advertising against Linux?
He'll drown eventually.

These actions tend to rebound, I bet many of MS customers never viewed Linux as any threat until MS told them so. We had to deal with one guy who hated the very mention of Linux and he ranted about it in the newsgroup, until he realised he was the best recruiting seargeant Linux could employ.
