It's been a while since the latest Microsoft-should-open-source-Windows article, so SJVN felt compelled to write one. "Although Microsoft may claim otherwise, Vista, from both from a technical and business point of view, is proving to be a failure. Why not turn it over to people who have shown time after time that they can deliver the goods?"

Call me confused because I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.
What do you mean by "Linux != FOSS"
Linux IS free and open source software, but not all free and open source software is Linux. I thought that was one of the major selling points of linux is that it is free and open source for anyone to use provided they give back any modifications made to the source.
The same goes for this statement too "Linux people is not a subset of FOSS people".

There is a large group of Linux advocates who are not FOSS advocates. I'm referring to groups of people (not the systems themselves) and by equality I mean that the right is a subset of the left and the left is a subset of the right (right and left side of the equation).
Linux is open source, but not everyone advocating and making Linux is pro-open source. The same goes for the other side.
