The British Management Department said that Microsoft called Microsoft's Linux operating system in an advertisement to be more misleading than its own Windows operating system cost.
Microsoft's advertisement published in a professional magazine, which said that the cost of using Linux is ten times higher than Windows. People's dissatisfaction is filled with Advertising Standards Authority, because this advertisement reference is compared to the operational cost of both operating systems in different hardware environments.
This advertising supervisory body has ruled that this advertisement has "misleading".
The agency said that since the use of different hardware, this test "cannot indicate that the use of the Linux operating system is higher than using the Windows operating system."
A spokesperson of the agency said that Microsoft has guaranteed that it will modify this ad.
As a development existence system, Linux has now achieved great progress in the enterprise and government departments.
