Actually, I love to see these types of articles when they are NOT a joke.
What better advertising.  A review slamming Mandrake filled with lies and
distortions, not to mention profanity.  If this is not a joke, it is a very
upfront hatchet job and it is so totally transparent that even the most
loyal Microsoft customers will see through it.  It is certainly shocking at
first, but when the intitial shock wears off it doesn't leave much of an
impact.  If anything it will very likely make more people curious about
Mandrake.  A while back Linux finally appeared on Microsoft radar.  Now it
looks like they are seeing Mandrake as a threat worthy of direct attack.
Does this tell us something?
