Exactly, it's not just about the search. It's about the title. It's misleading in a way that it suggest you that the link gives you more information about Linux while they are just promoting their product and showing linux is bad at the cost of the Linux title.

Exactly. Google will provide thousands of choices, thousands of words which can be used. Whether the company who advertise use a very misleading title or not - depends on that advertiser. Its the advertiser's idea which word to chose to help people or mislead people. MS's opponents can chose 'Microsoft Office' as title for their ads and put everything against MS office. But some people does not do that kinda business ;)

Poor google !

Thats what I said :) The popularity or unpopularity don't decide whether an entity if good or bad. I've not used GFS while I've used NTFS. What I say is that, just coz NTFS is used by many doesn't mean its good; and just coz GFS is used on servers with almost Zero downtime doesn't mean GFS is the best :)

@Others
That ad doesn't come only with "Linux forthcoming versions". Its visible for: Linux versions, OpenSUSE versions, Ubuntu versions, Fedora versions etc. Check it out yourself! :)

So you can now judge that MS sure is concerned and keeps track of all the Distros ;)

remove versions and its not there anymore :)
Obviously! If that ad is available even after removing "versions" from the above mentioned phrases then that would be the height of shamelessness by MS!! :))

I do not know why you are blaming the poor MS ;)

Google allows the (misleading) title selected by MS for their ads, and google shows the ads, that also in google.com !!

So how come MS is shameless ? ;)

Its all fault of Google, MS is the BEST :D

LOL, enough lies for the day.

Boy o Boy!! You are right! The epitome of shamelessness!!! :))

And just look what happens when you search for Windows... mostly MS sites! ;)

Not quite upto the topic, but still,
try a google search for "mac os x", and you'll see the same ad,

Looks like M$ is feeling the heat with people switching away from Windows,
be it to the Mac or Linux platforms,
M$ is playin a losing game IMO.

WTF?? *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/24.gif *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/24.gif

What has MAC got anything to do with Windows?? And look at the title!! lol...

This is what I call desperation, this is sad, really sad... *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/24.gif

The title says "Mac operating system" when it has absolutely nothing to do with that!! Nice find man, I think this one is more misleading than the one I posted!... lol...

Whats so funny in that ? ? ?

Simple example ..

Win XP = Rs.5000 or so

Ubuntu CD = Rs.50 or less

Now which is costlier ? Ubuntu for sure.

Stop making fun of MS, will you ? :D
