MS-Funded Alexis de Toqueville Institution Attacks Linus, Probably Making Itself a Laughingstock

Groklaw reports: MS-Funded Alexis de Toqueville Institution Attacks Linus, Probably Making Itself a Laughingstock
“Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. . . more FUD attacks.”

“This is so stupid I think we need a parody done by Scott Lazar. But
I’ll do my best to tell you the news with a straight face. The Alexis
de Toqueville Institution, who as you may recall admitted it gets funding from Microsoft,
has put out a press release on a “study” they have done that suggests
that Linus isn’t the father of Linux after all. Another “independent”
study with Microsoft peeking out from behind the curtain.”

“It’s
good when you are opposed by Larry and Moe. How dumb do you need to be
to attack Linus Torvalds? As I’ve said before, it’s like kicking
Dorothy’s little dog, Toto. All you get for your trouble is a lot of
really offended folks who seriously dislike you and all your
supporters.”
