Novell debunks Microsoft anti-Linux FUD
Nov. 05, 2004

Novell has issued a response to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's latest attack on Linux. The Linux software maker accuses Microsoft of using biased reports to back up its claims, and has launched a web page dedicated to debunking the myths, called "Unbending the Truth: Things Microsoft Hopes You Won't Notice."

Novell says it is focused on setting the record straight, and urges the public to explore the facts and dicover why Linux is often a better choice for satisfying enterprise business needs.

Microsoft's latest attack on Linux was widely reported last week. Chief executive Steve Ballmer's repeated the key themes of Microsoft's "Get The Facts" campaign, in an email message sent to Microsoft customers and partners. The campaign claims that Windows is a better choice than Linux in terms of security, training, total cost of ownership (TCO), and protection against legal action over patent violations.
