Editorial 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.

Linux isn't bliss, Windows isn't hell

I agree with the first statement, disagree with the second. Linux isn't perfect, but it's what it represents to me-- free as in freedom-- that is as important as what it can do. Windows is increasingly becoming tied to its maker, who wants to attach its bloodsuckers to our necks and pump us dry.
"Linux is gonna bring back Elvis", "Windows shot president Kennedy"
Yes, both of these things warp the time-space continuum, and so they are incorrect. But nothing will persuade me that Bill Gates isn't the devil of Hell, and that Microsoft isn't the whore of Babylon.
