Subject: Where to get Linux executables for Windows
You know, I got one of those marketing CD's that has all that info how
'Windows is better than Linux'. I actually sat down and reviewed it and
it's really so biased that I pretty much looked at it like a MAD
magazine parody.

It says Windows is better here and Windows is better there and Windows
is more secure and Companies support it, etc...

What I really liked was the disclaimer at the end (in fine print) of the
presentation that pretty much said that Microsoft cannot be held liable
for the information on the CD to be accurate after the production of the CD.
