Microsoft’s Training Campaign for Bestbuy Employees

Posted September 5th, 2009 in Linux by Michael

So here’s the gist of the story:

Microsoft is offering Bestbuy employees an ExpertZone a retail-training course in how to sell Windows. In a thread on Overclock.net, user GodofGrunts has kindly uploaded some images of one of the course’s modules, “Linux vs. Windows 7.” The points Microsoft uses against Linux are either lies, or common misconceptions and have no concrete evidence backing them up.

Maybe Microsoft should train Bestbuy employees on how to properly manage a demo machine. When I was walking around the computer department, I came across this:

BOSD2

BSOD1

BSOD3

At least three employees walked by the machine while I was there and didn’t do anything.

One Response so far.

    lol its nice to know that the people that we rely on to give us advice when we are buying computers can’t even recognize the blue screen of death. :)
