M$ funds "Independant" Study, Determines they are Cheaper than Free?

Ok, I read this and said to myself, this is too stupid to pass up. M$ (aka. Microsoft Corp.) funds an "independent" study to determine what OS (operating system, that stuff your computer needs to work) would best suit Newham's (London, UK) needs. The bold face lie they came up with "Microsoft is more secure than the open source alternative" was far to much for me to take. Seeing as how a problem found in OSS (open source software or Linux, FreeBSD etc..) gets fixed in a few days, M$ takes months if not years to fix simple problems. Oh man this is sure some secure crap there fellas, I wanna smack someone over this. Give me a round trip to England kids. I just want to grab those responsible for making decisions and say "Have you lost your bloody mind!?!"
Ok, I'm done ranting. Thanks.
