After its initial print-advertising offensive against the Linux operating system in the United States this month, Microsoft soon will be telling U.K. technology professionals to “Get the Facts” as it broadens its cost-benefits campaign overseas. Microsoft initially launched the multimillion-dollar marketing campaign — which details cost savings of Microsoft Windows deployments compared with Linux deployments — with print ads in the United States and India at the beginning of the year.
