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.

"Why is it we HAVE to replace the evil OS?"
Because it is evil. Ectreme word for an extreme company.

Some people think they can use the simple rhetorical device of characterizing opposition to MS and it's practises as extreme to disarm it. Because we all know
that if a viewpoint is extreme it must be wrong.
Sure, Linux users shouldn't diss Windows users, but
MS itself you bet.
Remember, freinds don't let freinds use Microsoft
