"The Open Source community's answer is to ignore Microsoft's incredible technological lead - because it is proprietary and not a standard - and instead focusses on their own cool thing and self-gratifying cool features, because they think they can do better (which is where the ignorance combined with ego comes in)."

Well, Linux certainly is backwards, but Microsoft also doesn't exactly have a point with an OS which still uses garbled three-letter extensions to determine the content of a file, and volume letters to access drives. Not to mention the root-by-default policy. Face it, MS is neither innovative nor is their OS in any way modern. Oh, and proper multithreading was introduced into mainstream Windows in 1995, that's been seven years ago (not twenty).
