Are these guys at the UN stupid or what? Going from what RØmer said "We need a system, which is safe and can operate in 11 languages - soon 20," , they didn't even look at a linux distro or even try one. I mean hell mabel, how many languages does Linux support...at least 20 isn't it? And what does he mean by "safe"? Someone should have asked him to show us how an M$ OS was 'safer' than an Linux OS. Someone should have asked him how many times he sees security breaches and vulnerabilities in headlines and security watch places about M$' OS and how many he's seen for Linux. The whole thing smells like corruption and kickbacks to me. They even had to try to make it look like poor little Ballmer was soooo put out and made to lose out on his 'ski' time. The whole article was pathetic and made to try and make anyone reading it sympathize with M$.
this seems to be a common thing now...I don't know what country you're in, but here in the US, there is a recent microsoft commercial that gives the impression that microsoft is amazed at what people can do...so they (microsoft) are in business to help you achieve your goals/dreams. Now if this isn't a PR attempt to improve their public perception as a cheating, stealing, lying bunch of bastards - I don't know what is. Every time I see it I feel the "bullshit" factor go through the roof!
