Sigh. M$ FUD spam sent under Steve Ballmer's name to an email address
which is only used as a domain registration contact. Of course, it
does
not even comply with the most rudimentary requirements of the
You-CAN-SPAM
act. Additionally, there are no line breaks within paragraphs. Yuck.
I'm sure that if I report them to their upstream, they'll be unplugged
;-p
I suppose that I should post this to NANAS for future reference.

In the thousands of meetings that Microsoft employees have with
customers around the world every day, many of the same questions
consistently surface: Does an open source platform really provide a
long-term cost advantage compared with Windows? Which platform offers
the most secure computing environment? Given the growing concern among
customers about intellectual property indemnification, what's the best
way to minimize risk? In moving from an expensive UNIX platform,
what's the best alternative in terms of migration?
