No wonder Linux netbooks are not selling ‘that’ well! – Microsoft teaches Best Buy to trash Linux

Microsoft has confirmed (to dailyfinance) that it actually DOES train the Best Buy Employees the ‘important’ differences between Linux and Windows Computers. Few Best Buy employees leaked the training slides on the web which depict the Microsoft’s Anti-Linux agenda “Linux does not support many common applications and online services like iTunes, Zune, Quicken, Photoshop, and Office 2007″. They even go one step ahead and simply said “Linux is not safer than Windows”

Our take on the aforementioned claims by MSFT:

1) Linux does not support many common applications and online services like iTunes, Zune, Quicken, Photoshop, and Office 2007:

Believe it or not, we all saw this coming. The netbook manufactures were getting a little out of control and had started releasing almost notebook-sized netbooks. Somebody had to put a limit over the screen-size and there is no one better than Microsoft for this job!
