Editorial Misinterpreted. I think that is about the best word around to describe the reactions to my previous article. Whether it has been misinterpreted due to people only reading what they want to read, due to an unclear choice of words on my behalf, or other factors, I am going to try it again. I will try to explain my position, again. Now, more stable, the code has been rewritten from scratch!

Who said our community cares whether Bill Gates loses money or not? Our community just wants to use what we like. If others want to use Linux, go ahead. There are thousands of learning resources (incl. articls here) which help them. 'RTFM' isn't the nicest way to put it, but since when did reading the documenation associated with a product make you LESS intelligent?

I don't care if you run Windows or Linux. Please don't assume everyone on Linux even remembers the last time they used a Windows machine at home or work, because some of us do not. Why do you have to interject that we all want Bill Gates to see failure? I want him to use his power and fortune to release quality products and set standards which I can associate with. The new windows looks promising (longhorn I believe it is).
