The problem is, they aren't really 'facts' - but rather opinions from
linux biased news sources.
Another problem is that you further skew the headlines from the
original articles so it makes it seem as though the article backs up
your headlines - which in some cases it does not.
Finally, you quote only the pro linux comments from the articles, and
fail to post the pro-windows stuff (if it exists).
So the bottom line is, unless you read the article, your headlines and
message body give the wrong impression.
Not very good reporting, imho.
