Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

His arguments are old, unsubstantiated FUD.
"Linux needs 'big name' commercial apps"
Part of the reason I no longer use Windows, is because the so-called
"big name apps" are grossly overpriced, overhyped, Crapware. There is
nothing of any significance that I could do with "big name apps" on
Windows that I can't do on GNU/Linux. This misguided "need" for such
apps is nothing more than bullshit indoctrination, which easily
influences the archetypal feeble-minded Windows users.
"Advocates inhibit adoption"
GNU/Linux advocates (here and elsewhere) are one of the main sources of
marketing for Free Software (non-commercial software typically doesn't
advertise through standard channels). Every voice praising GNU/Linux is
a thorn in Microsoft's side, so it isn't very surprising that their
Shills should denounce them. The idea that a /supporter/ can inhibit
adoption is pure unqualified bullshit.
"Linux doesn't pay"
Yeah, right. Take a look at the job market. It's overflowing with demand
for *nix professionals.
"Windows just works"
More utter bullshit. For every error (serious or otherwise) that I've
ever encountered under GNU/Linux, I've witnessed hundreds under Windows
- it's an utter disaster of an OS. I also have had considerably more
problems /installing/ Windows than I ever had installing GNU/Linux,
especially WRT SCSI/RAID/SATA disk controllers (please insert disk into
non-existent floppy drive, anyone?).
The entire article is just one of those "Big Lie" posts, based on the
principle that if you keep repeating the same old bullshit often enough,
then eventually the feeble-minded readers will start to believe you.
