Microsoft "sells" a Linux server.

About a month ago, Runet was full of messages with the following content: “I will sell a Linux server URGENTLY! in connection with the purchase of Windows Server 2003 ". Around this time, I saw a topic that a letter was sent to Microsoft with an offer to buy a Linux server. It is good that the text of the letter was attached:

Hello!

I saw the advertisement of your company on the site www.overclockers.ru .
Text of your ad: “Selling Linux server URGENT! in connection with the purchase
Windows Server 2003

Our company now really needs a used Linux server that you sell.
Can you please tell us how we could get it?

Regards,
Dmitriy.

to which two replies were received - on April 12 and today.

Good afternoon, Dmitry,

The following information was received for your request:

We are confident in the advantages of the solutions offered by Microsoft, but our task is to help our clients whenever possible, even in those cases when they, for some reason, cannot take full advantage of them. We consistently adhere to the position that the client has the right to an informed choice from competing offers, and strive to ensure maximum openness and interoperability, preserving his investments in a heterogeneous information environment.

If you have not done this yet, please read the materials presented on the pages www.microsoft.com/rus/getthefacts (in Russian) and / or www.microsoft.com/windowsserver/facts (in English), and on the websites of leading professional IT publications and suppliers of relevant products. In case you retain the conviction that you really need a Linux server with commercial support, please let us know your contact details — last name, first name and patronymic, position, organization name, city, phone number and email address, estimated number and purpose servers, as well as the reason why you think it is the preferred solution on the Linux platform.

With the help of our partners, we will try to offer you a solution that best meets your needs.

We guarantee that the data you provide will be used only in the context of your interest in a commercially supported Linux server.

Respectfully,

It was alarmed that the letters came from one address, although in the first they were promised to be handed over to the manager "in charge of this direction", but this is not essential, maybe in Micosoft one box for 10 employees ...

I think how to answer. Interestingly, they will probably offer something from Novell.
