You can send mail to admin [AT] promotinglinux.com. Please be kind.
Message for the stupidly naive and the fabulously retarded:
This is not a ‘real site dealing with real issues’. Every corner of this site is a joke. All the content is *pure crap*. Can’t you see the TRADEMARK SIGN on “The Truth”?
We tell you that 1) Linux will make you hack both your ears off and 2) it will sap and impurify all of your precious bodily fluids. There are 100s of other statement such as this. And you think this is real?
Thanks for ruining a good joke and making me post this.
You people make me sick. Get *the fuck* off the internet. We don’t want your kind tainting the rest.
Message to the genius that keeps on going around the internet crying that we are posting Microsoft’s logo all over the place:
There are no Microsoft logos here. “The Microsoft Way” sidebar is generated from text using a default font in Photoshop that is further slanted and weighted bold. That’s the only thing it has in common with the way I see “Microsoft” displayed on microsoft.com. And even if we where using these mythical Microsoft logos you speak of, under parody and satire it’s somewhat permissible. Only a dumb fuck such as yourself would look at that, read this site, and think promotinglinux.com is Microsoft sponsored.
Message to the rest:
After reading the above and going over the site, you still probably think this is somehow a trick to confuse you.
Please understand that Microsoft and their employees are not out to get you and your precious Linuxes.
One last thing: This site runs on Linux.
Another note: Reading the comments on these pages shows that 50% to 85% of Linux users are 1) in a cult and 2) fully retarded. Nice work people.

If you believe this is a real site, please stop using and supporting Linux, you give everyone with half a brain a bad image.
Cheers, thanks for being trolled.

The problem with this joke (apart from the admin claiming it is serious) is that it isn’t funny.
It does also increase FUD to new and unhelpful levels.
Please cease and desist.
I am Bill Gates and I even know that GNU/Linux is the way forward (why do you think I quit and why do you think my dear old Microsoft is making Linux versions for Microsoft Silverlight)
BTW - Nw that I’m a new born-again-nice-guy, I’m so sorry about all the FUD I used to peddle.
Cheers,

Hi Bill,
I’m glad you have brought this up because I really wanted to answer this point.
It takes a well rounded individual, someone that’s sure of themselves, someone that is not living in their mom’s basement, someone that has not wasted their life away in front of Linux, to be able to have and experience joy and laughter.
Having said that, this site was not meant to be funny, it is not a joke, it deals with serious issues.

Im so confused, Im not sure if I should laugh or cry. Everything is written so seriously but at the same time its kinda funny.

Hey hey!! Rock on…
Most of the Internet may be run on linux, but that explains why most websites on the internet are crap!
Linux can only cope properly with serving static html pages. Have you seen the crap out there? All running on linux boxes.
Look at sites like Microsoft.com - WOW. Silverlight - truly the answer too web 3.0 and beyond!
The current popularity of Linux can be attributed to cheapness and laziness. First of all, to try something that everyone knows doesn’t work well, just to save on license fees is especially short sighted and cheap. Laziness - because Linux users would rather tinker than work.
Linux users want to feel special, thats why the resort to nonconforming behavior like running open source software.
All the man-hours spent by development teams to try and cater for vocal social deviants and their rip-off browser software is costing the world millions. If we all conformed to Microsoft Software, IT spending would come down by an order of magnitude.
Because of the sneaky wording of Open source Licenses. Projects like the Linux kernel INCREASE THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP of non-Linux software.
Let me explain. Since no one makes money selling Linux, and many of the worlds deviant nerds are working on open source software at no cost, WHO IS FEEDING THE NERDS?
We are of course. Inflation rates around the world are accelerated by this group of people. They are A BURDEN TO SOCIETY. Increasing the cost of all software, consumables, food, energy etc.
Millions of tinkering hours are spent building products that will serve to enslave more of our worlds brightest to do the same to others.
I have so much more to say - I applaud you MoM!!!

Are you sure this site isn’t a joke?
I mean you actually have pictures of Britney without panties as an endorsement of Vista?
Really?
Does your Mom know you have this site?
July 12th, 2008 at 6:48 am
What?? I like Britney Spears without panties & without hair!!
Oh. Wait.. No!! I think some linux hacker replaced it.
Guys, this will not be tolerated.

Hey hey!! Rock on…
>> Lets Not.
Most of the Internet may be run on linux, but that explains why most websites on the internet are crap!
>>No. if they are crap then its down to the craetors of the website >>being dumbasses.
Linux can only cope properly with serving static html pages. Have you seen the crap out there? All running on linux boxes.
>>This is just not true at all. Had very few problems with most web >>pages. Probably on par with windows in terms of problems.
Look at sites like Microsoft.com - WOW. Silverlight - truly the answer too web 3.0 and beyond!
>>Hmmmm…..mibbe. Just wonder where they ripped it off from.
The current popularity of Linux can be attributed to cheapness and laziness. First of all, to try something that everyone knows doesn’t work well, just to save on license fees is especially short sighted and cheap. Laziness - because Linux users would rather tinker than work.
>> It works perfectly well! Its a choice out of interest and >>curiosity rather than cheapness and laziness. Almost every pc is >>shipped with windows in the first place so if people were lazy then >>they would just stick with what they have!DUMBASS. It works >>extreemly well too….some nice features…esp compizfusion.
Linux users want to feel special, thats why the resort to nonconforming behavior like running open source software.
>>No. Just No. The whole basis of open source software is find the >>most agreeable\best way to run\operaate a program through user >>input and customisation. If something is shit then just change it! >>Whereas in windows, if somethings shit then get used to it… cos >>it aint getting changed.
All the man-hours spent by development teams to try and cater for vocal social deviants and their rip-off browser software is costing the world millions. If we all conformed to Microsoft Software, IT spending would come down by an order of magnitude.
>>Again, no. How is open source costing the world millions? And if we >>all conformed to windows do you REALLY think they would >>go ‘Here….everyones using windows. Why dont we drop the price?’ >>Dickhead. God….if everyone was using it, microsoft would charge >>whatever they wanted for it as there is no competition. More >>competion means lower prices.
Because of the sneaky wording of Open source Licenses. Projects like the Linux kernel INCREASE THE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP of non-Linux software.
>>How? see the point above.
Let me explain. Since no one makes money selling Linux, and many of the worlds deviant nerds are working on open source software at no cost, WHO IS FEEDING THE NERDS?
>> Noone making money? WRONG! see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth
We are of course. Inflation rates around the world are accelerated by this group of people. They are A BURDEN TO SOCIETY. Increasing the cost of all software, consumables, food, energy etc.
>>See point above. We bring DOWN the cost of shit like microsoft >>through competition. ass.
Millions of tinkering hours are spent building products that will serve to enslave more of our worlds brightest to do the same to others.
>>What Products? Windows?
I have so much more to say - I applaud you MoM!!!
>>I have so much more to say - I slap you asshole!!!!
>> Finally, for proof im the winner, see: http://www.whowouldkickass.com/companies/ubuntu-vs-vista/
LOSER! GET YOUR FREAKING FACTS RIGHT BEFORE YOU SPEAK EVER AGAIN!
