Open Source means you are a Geek who spits in the faces of your
customers. You whine about Microsoft predatory practices then impugn
your credibility by claiming Microsoft has no market share. Your
documents take forever to download from the internet. The dates,
scope, and applicability of your documentation is vague and
inconsistent. You beat your chest, hang from a tree by one hand, and
eat your banana. You are a zoo exhibit.
