Microsoft’s anti-Unix campaign back

April 3, 2002 by Rob

Vorige week begonnen Microsoft en Unisys een campagne tegen‚ het gesloten en moeilijk te onderhouden‚ Unix. Toen bekend werd dat de site [url=http://www.wehavethewayout.com]wehavethewayout.com[/url] op Apache met FreeBSD draaide is dit snel vervangen door een Microsoft/IIS systeem. En dat leverde het volgende op.

[quote]But back to that imagery. The campaign didn’t name the evil from which users should flee‚ but the graphic showed a floor almost entirely covered in mauve paint‚ mauve being the color of Sun Microsystems. So far‚ so good: but the alternative on offer was to jump through a window‚ which literate readers will know as defenestration‚ a popular way of inviting kings to commit suicide in 17th century Europe. The “jump to your death” route seems to be the path followed by the advertisers themselves‚ as the promotional website itself has performed some form of ritual suicide in its migration to Windows.
