Put yourself in his/her shoes. You're a budding young technical writer and the one word you hear popping up in almost every tech-related conversation is, you guessed it, Linux. Now look in the mirror and try to tell yourself you're more than a writer. After all, you write about technology because it not only interests you, but you're accurate and fair enough to tell it like it is. Maybe not.

>I like the truth though in the statment that too many people like Linux simply because of irrational hatred for MS
I don't think it's entirely irrational (possibly largely irrational but not entirely). I started looking at seriously switching to Linux when I first heard about MS's 'secure computing' initiative. I've no interest in a computing furture dominated, controlled and legislated by corporations and thier governmental lackeys.
I'm now a Linux user 100% of the time though I do still have a windows partition.
