To me, it's a miracle how every tiny article on OSNews.com, or any other tech-site, ends up in people shouting all sorts of nonsense at each other like "Linux is gonna bring back Elvis", "Windows shot president Kennedy", "Linux kept the cold war cold" or "Bill Gates wants to buy the moon and charge people for looking at it". Do these people really know what they are saying, or are they just going with the Open-Source flow? Update: Rebuttal article here.

I use linux because freedom is important to me. Even if Windows was better I would still prefer linux. I don't want to be dependent of only one company and open sourcecode is a big
difference.
This is also the reason why I don't use Mac OS X, Be OS, OS/2 or anything proprietary operating system.
I see articles like this and I think that many americans still not understand the "free" in "free software" concept...
I don't care if MacOS X is more "sexy" or Windows GUI is more friendly. M$ is a predatory monopoly and I will not feed it. Even when I buy my hardware I don't pay M$ taxes. I choose my chinese notebook because it came without operating system.
