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.

Micro$oft may have 50K programmers, but Linux has millions.
In any case, each computer sould be set up to do what it is indended to do, and in the best way. Many people still use NT4 because it works and is reliable. It does what they want it to do. When I have a new job for a computer to do, I consider whether an existing computer can handle it. If not, I look at Linux on yet another computer. Other people have gone ahead of me, and most problems are well solved many ways. Linux lets me choose what is best for my situation.
If there is only one choice, you have to make your situation fit the choice.
