Linux : News : Can Linux Save IT Jobs in America?
Posted: ( Thu 22nd Jan 2004 06:18:54[AM] UTC )

Monopolizing on the fears of corporate America, many companies like Microsoft began to market their new product line on the premise that purchasing their software will allow you to reduce your IT department even further. Or at least that's the impression that is given from the Windows 2003 commercials.
