I find it curious a piece of software has a section related to dispelling "the biggest myths". I guess they've at least failed at explaining what their stuff does.

Besides that it reminds of the classic Micro$oft "Get the Facts" campaign which among its other merits claimed that

* Windows has lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than [GNU/]Linux. It turned out that they were comparing [GNU/]Linux on a very expensive IBM Mainframe to Windows on a PC!

* the .NET trading platform that it had developed in partnership with Accenture for the London Stock Exchange, claiming that it provided "five nines" reliability. After suffering extended downtime and unreliability the LSE announced in 2009 that it was planning to drop its Microsoft solution and switch to a [GNU/]Linux-based one in 2010.
