Intimates that hiring persons that use Linux will result in "a third" of company infrastructure being surreptitiously converted away from Windows among many other ridiculous claims. This article is disgusting and shows that PC World's readership is primarily tech-illiterate bureaucrats. It panders significantly to that group. The section "The Voyeur" makes no sense at all, as the supposed good guy displayed a random employee's screen to demonstrate some corporate spy tool to a group of executives, and the supposed bad guy was updating his resume, yet the latter is accused as "the voyeur". The whole thing is basically an article for SolarWinds, which apparently makes software that only scared executives buy. There is a comparison between Terry Childs, the SF admin that would not give the passwords to city routers, and Hitler, as "[they both thought they were doing the right thing]".
Just a terribly offensive article to anyone with any degree of technical sense. It is obviously written to scare figureheads and MBAs into distrusting their IT department (and therefore buying a bunch of software that is supposed to "watch the watchers").
