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.

"And then I hear Linux is not ready for the masses. Have you stopped to ponder and realize it's the other way round."

Let's imagine a fictive person. This guy is really a pain in the ass. He is anti-social, pessimistic, but, he does want the people around him to like him. He simply doesn't understand what should change.

What would you advice this guy? "Stay the way you are, everybody else should change!" Isn't it more realistic that HE should change, and not the 5.999.999.999 other humans in the world?

Think about it.
