Microsoft prepares security assault on Linux. Company will criticize Linux for taking too long to fix bugs.
No no no -- this is not the way. The time it takes for bugs to be fixed in Linux is not an issue. Get your own damn house in order and rein in your advertising and PR flacks. Please put your effort and money somewhere else (why is it that Microsoft is often trying to solve the wrong damn problem?).
"Microsoft failed to respond to our questions, although its law and corporate affairs spokeswoman told us that she didn't think the company intended to launch a security attack on Linux and that it would be "odd" if the company used strong comparative information to state its case. It would be more odd if it didn't."
I hope this is accurate and this was an idea maybe at most discussed and then discarded.
