Nope, the word FUD actually has a definition
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear%2C_uncertainty_and_doubt
Microsoft does not have a monopoly on this anacranim it can be applied
to any organization that 'gives out information' even the Linux
community, shock horror!

Ah its good to have a little 'blood letting' now and again, I doubt
theres any M$ trolls here or on any Linux list for that matter, stands
to reason if a Linux user wouldn't be seen dead on a Microsoft mailing
list then the same goes for any M$ user.

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release
System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a
snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a
fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
