Opinion: Windows is Not Linux

This article fairly eloquently expounds some of the reasons why Linux’s job is not to become increasingly Windows-like, nor is it Open Source’s duty to merely provide free duplicates of every Windows-user’s favorite program. The issue has never been anything about Elite Snob vs. Concerned Newbie. It is simply a misunderstanding of what the Linux and the Open Source world is all about. Linux is not about repeating Windows with its features and flaws. It is an opportunity to experiment with new and wonderful alternatives”, says OSNews reader Bob Jamison.
