The title of the article seems completely wrong to you? Naturally it would, when you daily read something like this. But I do state all this stuff is being a big mistake, if not worse. I am sure, that Linux is now close to extinction, and still is getting closer and closer to the point of no return.

Like I said yesterday, Linux is about being open. We're about discourse. We're about talking. We're not about hiding our faults and problems.
If we're going to succeed we have to be able to freely speak our minds.
If we can't do that, if we can't talk about what's wrong or what we feel is wrong, then we become like Microsoft who cover's up their problems and hides them from customers. When we become like our "enemy" we've lost the war, and the war is useless.
Don't stifle or shut up critics. Let them talk. If what they say is true, take it to heart. If what they say is false, rebut them and show them what is true.
But don't push away those who might be in the middle--potential customers or users--by crying wolf all the time.

I really wish I could mod you up Thom.
