Forrester survey discovers that virtually no one uses open source (?!?)

Commentary: Getting the Facts, Forrester-style

Lie.

huh? But the luser just said it was paid anti-Linux stuff?

Oh, I get it: they pick and choose the parts they wish to believe. If the
report shows negative news about Linux, it's propaganda. If it shows
positive news, it's "real data".

Here's a piece of real data for you: the Linux "community" is a pack of real
fools.

Yet another survey shows Linux is not even on the radar map.

So are *all* of these companies and surveys wrong, Roy Schestowitz?

The truth sometimes hurts.
