Scott Morris has replied to the statement made by Microsoft's Bill Hilf that Linux poses no threat to Windows on the desktop. "I'm telling you, SLED 10 will be the first Linux platform ever that can truly address all of the issues to be considered when looking for a desktop platform. Gone are the days where the knee-jerk response is 'OK, so how much do I need to fork over to you, Mr Gates?' Only the old-school has-beens are still thinking this way. Join the new IT movement. The one where everyone sees Microsoft's software for the trash that it is, and sees Linux for the value that it adds to the industry. At very least join us in the real world and think for yourself."

You did notice that his Blog was called "SUSE RANTS" right? That would be the ranting part. Other than that he normally has some pretty cool tips.
Whether it's a rant or not (and rants do have to have some foundation to be of any interest - so it's not a rant) what we've got here is an ex-Novell employee coming up with some absolutely non-sensical and unbelievable 'response' (and I use that word in its broadest possible sense) which is nothing but a zealot attack. Surely he must realise that this reflects badly on Novell, the Suse name he's associated with and desktop Linux in general?
Bill Hilf did come up with some real issues based on Microsoft's experience of poroducing a desktop for widespread use and Scott Morris just couldn't, or flat out just didn't want to, address them.
I think Novell should be getting their employees, and should have got ex-employees (who must accept some blame here), to concentrate on making sure they have a company in six months to a year's time rather than filling themselves with desktop drivel like this.
