-- to them (eWeek aka Ziff Davis) from my cockpit.

Total spew, no research, lame CONS in their comparison table and nothing but an attempt to appear friendly to Open Source.

They use the "come here, go away" approach on the topic, they use the cover article as a lead in for readership and then quietly tell you to leave Open Source alone or more to the point, paint no compelling reason to use it.

There is of course the hidden political agenda that is at hand. August 1st is the start of the licensing agreement from Microsoft......Ok so I am a conspiracy theory kind of guy.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
