(I think people have seen this before; I vaguely remember it being discussed.)
I get these tech emails from time to time (actually too much of the time). One just popped up in my inbox. To quote:
" -------- LINUX & OPEN SOURCE --------
=========================================================
Open source in the enterprise: news, reviews, trends,
and commentary.
"Why pay more for Linux than Microsoft(R) Windows(R)? Through a variety of tests and comparisons, major third-party research and analysis firms found Windows to be less expensive than Linux in the long run. Read all the studies and see for yourself. Click here to get the facts."
Further down the page:
"Sponsored by Microsoft "
Why does this not surprise me? It reminds me of a major paper I read while studying for my M.Ed. The paper studied computer-assisted instruction in mathematics (focusing on a particular software package) and concluded that instruction based on this package was significantly more effective than instruction by a teacher or tutor. It took a fair bit of reading to discover that the researcher writing the paper was one of the developers of the package. Biased research, anyone? |
