I should point out that within a week of these going up on Microsoft's
site in October, the geek humour/spoof news site Segfault posted this:

"Eggheads for Social Responsibility, an international group of cosmologists
and mathematicians, today issued an open letter to the Linux community,
urging individuals to stop creating rebuttals to Microsoft's recent "Linux
Myths" document. The letter cites a fear of disasterous thermodynamic
consequences as the number of such rebuttals approaches the number
of elementary particles in the universe."

I can find some of the better rebuttals to point you at, but perhaps this
gives you the picture... ;-)
