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 is far from perfect. It just happens to get the job done for some people. Strange, it works best for people who read the manual(s) and think about what they are doing and what they want from their computer.
Windows has many strengths. It gets the job done for some people too. Strange, it works best for the same category of people. A monkey couldn't accomplish more in Windows than in Linux. And if it would, would we care?
It is often said that Linux is the alternative. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I think people say that meaning 'an alternative OS', not 'an alternative Windows'. Or do they mean the latter? Because if they do, they would be much better off buying Windows. OSes are not easy to clone.
