What a difference a few hours makes when talking about Microsoft's attitude toward Linux. First we have Microsoft warms up to Linux discussing Bill Hilf's presentation coming up at LinuxWorld and a few hours later Microsoft boosts efforts to beat Linux interview with Kevin Johnson.
I would love to say that the disparity in the two stories is a fantastic marketing ploy by MS to continue to the confusion and add more FUD, but I tend to think its more that none of the MS people actually talk to one another.
While I'm at it, here are two more that came out today...it's like Yogi Berra was reincarnated as a MS spokesman.
Microsoft: Low-cost Windows gaining ground
Ballmer: High-end Windows, Office coming
It's like deja vu all over again.
