I figure the "open source software is communism" canard will be one of the first ones floated. The "no one uses it" ploy is also an obvious candidate, and they'll probably send in at least two Munchkins to claim that they personally tried it, and it's full of bugs and besides that it makes your hard disk explode. It will be interesting to see if any of them try to seize on the fact that it's free by saying "you get what you pay for." They have for months been arguing that Microsoft was only being helpful in giving away IE for free, but this time free will mean not 'helpful' but 'get whatcha pay for.' Consistent logical argument has never been the Mark Of The Munchkins. Damn, I almost forgot about security holes. Yep, it's full of security holes. They'll have to try that one; that's essential to the cultivation of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Starting the Bush2000 timer....NOW. Tick.. tick.. tick.. |
The Munchkins should be getting their talking point memos any minute now. Let's see if we can guess what lines of attack they will take.
