You only have to read the comments below the main article - the guy has
posted a reasonably well-argued piece, and is just getting virulently
toasted in the comments. The /really/ funny thing is that some of them
claim to be from 'oss' people, and they wax lyrical about things like
how often his *mac* site used to change (daily!); how would an oss
person know that, I wonder?
Few of the comments are polite and/or supportive, btw.
