Microsoft: Yep, we teach Best Buy to trash Linux

Microsoft (MSFT) has confirmed the authenticity of a controversial set of training slides that it prepared to train Best Buy (BBY) employees in what the software giant calls "the important differences between Linux computers and Windows computers."

Pro-Linux advocates -- including the Best Buy employee who initially leaked the training slides onto the web -- had accused Microsoft of "indoctrinating" workers with anti-Linux propaganda to mislead the public. The Best Buy worker, whom DailyFinance has spoken to, remains employed. For now.
