gtoomey writes "The UK Advertising Standards Authority has upheld
complaints that Microsoft misled consumers by running advertisements
claiming Linux is 10 times more expensive than Windows. The print
advertisements used "independent research" to compare the cost of Linux
on an expensive mainframe to Windows on a PC."
