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.

"Well, I think Linux is not all "bliss". Linux would be all "bliss" if we forget the slow boot-up/shutdown times, if we forget the lousy hardware support for, let's say, Ati products"
The "lousy" hardware support is in most cases directly the fault of the vendor. Especially in ATi and NVidia's case. Both ATi and NVidia produce their own Linux drivers now. ATi's Linux drivers are currently very subpar in my personal experience. ATi and NVidia also refuse to provide any real detailed hardware information regarding their newest series of products which makes it very hard to not have "lousy" support. You want to complain about lousy support? Go talk to the freaking LOUSY VENDORS.
