From a critical thinking standpoint I would argue the neutrality of the
Wikipedia on issues concerning Microsoft and Linux. This is evident by
several factors...
The specific page you link to makes several claims that, although are
generally accepted by the community as factual, are missing source citations
and thus showing either a lack of a proper investigation into the claims or
a bias towards the claims.
There are very few pages that deal with Linux vendors in this same manor on
Wikipedia (a lack of apposing viewpoints does not automatically mean
everyone agrees). For instance, this page...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_the_Facts ...Which details the facts
surrounding Microsoft's Get the Facts campaign. This article is not
necessarily pro or con however the community, or at least some in it, have
seen it fit to dispute the neutrality of the article. When following the
ensuing discussion it is discovered that this is due, in part, to the
article not necessarily bashing Microsoft.
I would urge everyone here to research the facts on such subjects in the
same manner that you would research the facts on the BoM. We (the Mormons)
as a people are, or at least should be, known for our relentless pursuit of
truth in all matters. It would be a shame to dismiss one technology or
another simply because of a popular notion or a grouping of one sided
arguments.

Now, David, we don't want to start a war. ;-) I'm sure the people at
Microsoft are very nice. And as we say at my work team, Bill Gates is a
very handsome man.
Love,
Tom
