Last Thursday OSNews had the opportunity to meet Miguel de Icaza, founder of Gnome, Ximian and among other things leader of the much discussed, Mono project. Miguel is a talented and versatile developer but he is also a very intelligent businessman able to understand the industry on many different levels. Talking to Miguel guarantees that you are very quickly taken away by his enthusiasm and optimism and his thoughtful strategies and vision on how OSS will take over the world.

False. That's spin-doctoring. That's fine, pretend that black is white and vice-versa, but you aren't doing Linux a wit of good in the long run.
I am writing this comment in Windows XP SP1 on a PII 550 w/128 MB RAM. I can run a browser, MS Word, play a high-resolution DivX movie or listen to music, have an instant messenger and Usenet client all running at once and comfortably. There is no way I could do that in a rescent release of Linux, if for no other reason than the fact that the OS itself won't even run nicely on this machine.
The above statements are cold, hard facts, and exist independently of assertion to the contrary. I know, because I've tried running Linux on this machine many, many times. People know the truth, and no amount of lying about the reality can change their knowledge.
