Anti-Linux propaganda from Microsoft appearing in the current issue of the German c't magazine -- the first ad Microsoft has put out directly targeting Linux. (Linux is a free open-source operating-system that has a penguin named "Tux" as its logo.)

"ein offenes betriebssystem hat nicht nur vorteile" means "An open operating system does not just have advantages."

The blurb in the corner says: "An open-source system can mutate each time. Going with Windows 2000 you have all programs and services at hand. This saves time and, truly, some money. More information is available at www.microsoft.com/germany/windows2000"
