Linux The title of the article seems familiar to you? Naturally it would, when you read something like this. But I do state the corresponding sentence isn't even grammatically correct, thereby making it difficult for me to parody. I am sure that Linux is not close to extinction but is rather gaining momentum or at least holding its ground.

Now the author seems to think that Linux is simply copying Microsoft on everything. That’s not true.

Of course it is not. Linux is copying Unix, too.

Linux is not losing a war or even fighting one

Well it is not winning a war either, that's for sure (according to the market share numbers).

You don't win by simply copying the stuff and that is exactly what Linux does, no matter how hard you deny it. They simply copy everything from Unix and Windows, all the time. Great ideas should be copied, no problems here with that, but the thing is --- they don't do it well. Microsoft does it really well ("embrace & extend").
