It goes well beyond that though.
Most of it revolves around sour grapes.
The Linux community loves to slam anything Windows but when they figure
out how to even half run it, no matter how aborted, they all of a sudden
drag it out as if they hit the Mega Millions jackpot in Lotto.
Remember, the Windows users can use Firefox and Opera as well, but we have
always been able to use IE for sites that do not work well with the other
browsers.
Now the Linux community apparently can do the same and the hypocrisy rears
it's ugly head.
