FUD to defend microsoft	by: heatonplus
Rob Enderle, founder of the Enderle Group, is a consultant, writer, and widely quoted technical and legal analyst in the information technology industry. Microsoft, Advanced Micro Devices, the SCO Group, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell are (or have been) among his clients.[1] Enderle has been critical of Apple Computer and Linux, as well as Unix and the open source/free software movements in general. In particular, he has described Linux as a “free-software scam,”[2] and he has compared some Linux advocates to terrorists, predicting that “one of them — or perhaps a group of them — will go too far at some point and do significant damage to the open-source movement, the ongoing litigation with SCO or their employers.” IBM is never going to pay single penny - it is that simple. If IBM pays they will be totally in shame and it will add to the FUD that they put the code in Linux. It is funded by MS. They want to keep the FUD alive so as long as possible. Thats their only way out. Why is this guy defending microsoft ? Bill gates and Monkeyboy are after Linux and they want to shut it down at all cost.

> Why is this guy defending microsoft ? Because Enderle is a Microsoft contractor, paid to put his seemingly independent one-man "Enderle Group" stamp on MS FUD, pretending it is his own. MS then claims his reports as independent conformation of their FUD. I would have thought the misspellings, grammatic errors and technical mistakes in his articles would have tipped people off by now. One has only to look at the comments people leave on his articles detailing what's wrong with them.
