SubjectNew comic book: Iron Man vs. Linux
I couldn't make this up, there's a new comic book coming out, and the 
bad guy is "a post-national business man and kind of an open source
ideological terrorist,” who sounds a lot like our favorite leader. The
description is "Windows wants to be on every computer desktop in the
world, but Linux and Stane want to destroy the desktop. "

Stupidity factor aside, you have to wonder who thinks it would be a good
idea to push the idea of Linux as evil in books intended for children.
Let's see, Linux evil, Windows good, who could benefit from that? Makes
a good conspiracy theory, if you can believe that there is someone so
set on profit that they would poison the mids of innocent children.

Since Linux is a trademark, I assume they can't really do this, MSFT
would certainly sue if someone was going to publish a comic about
Windows being evil.
