Indeed this study was ordered by an association which is headed by a
former general manager of Microsoft Germany and has consistently been
helping Microsoft FUD strategies over the years. The Spindler study
is not quite as bad as what VSI made of it. It has aroused quite a lot
of flamewars in Germany, and it may serve to arouse them in this forum as
well.
