Microsoft: Teaching Best Buy how to troll users
There are certain times when it is acceptible and understood when company’s sling mud to make their competition not look not as nice to the end user. Other times if it is done in excess, the shit hits the fan. What I’m referencing is the leaked “Linux Compare” material posted on Overclock.net that has been recently been given to willing Best Buy to teach them about Windows 7 and how it basically trumps Linux in every possible way. And as if that wasn’t enough for you, another presentation comparing Mac to Windows 7 has also been leaked.
These presentations are not helpful informative slides to let the employees understand the differences in the operating systems, they are loaded to the brink with myths and craftily worded phrases to trick the users into believing that Linux or Mac are terrible operating systems and instead purchasing their copy of Windows 7. While I’m not saying that Windows 7 is not going to be a good OS, it’s just this is a very dishonorable way of a company promoting a product.
