Which reminds me of an ad for MS backoffice which I just saw (actually, the ad reminded me of the message, but who's counting? ;). "Did someone say scalability?" ... [suggests MS is more scalable than UNIX] ... "For as little as 1/3 the price of UNIX" (which dollar signs floating around). It's amazing that they can get away with stuff like that... Their goal seems not so much to draw customers away from UNIX as it is to influence people who have experience with neither... IMHO...
