What is Digg?78 Comments
- Mootabolife, on 10/12/2007, -16/+245You can clearly see that Linux has a smaller user base.
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -12/+232No, Microsoft's products are just more bloated.
- Advocate, on 10/12/2007, -8/+95too bad Micro&Soft isn't toilet paper...
- Mengoxon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+65It gets even worse - they have a "Mäc oxi stain remover" (see link). Swiss geeks get to choose when doing their laundry...
http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=93 - bllambert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+65What happens if you mix them all together?.....a flame war.
- xxshinwaxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+55The Swiss company Rösch makes these.
Linux washing powder: http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=33
Linux Ultra Power washing liquid: http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=36
micro&soft fabric softener: http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=70 - aphexbr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+47Am I really nerdish enough to want to buy this for my kitchen? Yes, sadly, I am....
- UnglueD, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44I like how even in the picture, Micro&Soft is closed and Linux is out in the Open.
- kingmoffa, on 10/12/2007, -3/+40If this is real , which country is it from? Germany? Micro and Soft makes sense, Linux I'm not so sure....
- hectavex, on 10/12/2007, -5/+39Micro&Soft clearly has the genuine advantage.
- xplrr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31"Micro&Soft"
Even at $1.98, it still seems a bit overpriced. - kwago, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30Neato, open source detergent.
- ropers, on 10/12/2007, -3/+27Alternative "distributions", with educated guesses as to their specs:
- Linux Oxi Power: http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=35
Based on Debian GNU/Linux (the emphasis is on "gnu"). Ships with KDE.
- Linux color plus: http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=81
Based on Linspire. "Look mom, it's on COLOR!" Uses binary blobs to support proprietary graphics
hardware. Ships with GNOME.
- Linux classic 5.13: http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=34
Based on Slackware. Ships with fvwm. - jackyyll, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22But what about Ajax!? http://words.rancidbacon.com/slides/nzcs2005/images/IMG_7681_ajax_small.jpg
- phenom2k7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21If that is true, I feel sorry for you.
- tjanson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18It's real. Apparently someone at swiss detergent manufacturer Rösch had a lot of fun - the product line includes Micro&Soft, Linux and Mäc Oxi.

(all german, but with pictures) - GeneralAntilles, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21What's so hard about writing a short description?
- vegasmacguy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Actually that's a good thing. Installing it in your bathroom would cause endless BSOD (Blue Swirleys of Death)!
- willemmulder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I get what you try to say, and you have some point... but it's not funny and for sure overexaggerated...
- supremesonic, on 10/12/2007, -8/+20That comment says it all.
- diggEntertainer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13And also the Mäc oxi stain remover:
http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=93 - condorhauck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12So much for that... less than 10 minutes after you posted.
by migla: "I always thought "micro" and "soft" were descriptions of Bill Gates penis" - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Mr Sparkle!!!
A joint venture between Matsumura Fishworks and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern - Darcy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Whats the point when the picture says it all.
- ClassicResort, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12huh?
- marcomc2, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I love Switzerland.
I love Germany. - mercurysquad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7So, can I just go and pick some containers of Linux washing powder off the shelf? I mean, it's free, right?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Wikipedia has a version I can understand. http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_%28detergente%29
- evilpaulie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6says it all, Linux is always wiping up after Micro&soft is spilling all over the place.
- Phocion55, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Ironically, you need a 45-character key to open the micro&soft box after you've read the 15 page EULA.
- philz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I am Swiss and am SO getting that stuff :-)
*imagines a picture of a windows cd washed using linux* - tnvwboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Now if the Linux brands came with a free distro you'd have some serious marketing synergy.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Micro&soft will need patches every so often.
- joebob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I'm extremely disappointed in the digg user base that this topic is not filled with washing machine reboot / microsoft repair guy jokes.
Slackers. - TylerLavite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Linus Torvalds patented the name Linux, how are they using it legally?
- socokoolaid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Looks like Linux is coming out on top of Microsoft ;)
- ropers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://www.roesch-swiss.ch/?id=1142&prod_id=33
- GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Pfft, they made Linux run on bottles years ago. Get with the times mun, we're going to run Linux on RFID chips next.
- FearMEiDEA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3They should have had a basket of apples sitting there too.
- samnetwork, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It's not in Switzerland! (I live in Switzerland) It's in one of Germany's Walmarts. You can see the Walmart tag.
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Hahah, that's awesome.
- teckieee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4your clothes now not only powerful (inti bactirial) also user friendly (soft and cozy)
- jpfree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Linus *trademarked* the name - he didn't patent it. Also trademark infringement applies only when there is a possibility for confusion. Since laundry detergent and operating systems are in completely different fields there is no chance for confusion.
- witcompe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Maybe this is what Novell thought when they teamed up with Microsoft...?
- lorductape, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1i thought the orange sign near the top said anus server.
- elev, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2That wouldn't be ironic. It would be ironic if it didn't have the key and EULA.
- gzed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I just emailed Linus, let's wait and see whether he cares about this trademark infringement.
- clickwir, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6The Linux paper towels compensate for the microsoft mess as much as they can, till they can no longer compensate and then microsoft continues to make a mess of anything in it's wake.
- burnblue, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3That title does not bloody say "it all".
- dandelionmood, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Ever heard about "blu" linux :D ?
