If you read the article carefully, you will notice one main thing, It is marked HUMOUR!

I just added that it is a weak attempt.

I think most hardcore GPL believers would take a bit of offence if we got into mud-slinging.

Exactly.. you don't need to state that you are better by saying the other guy is worse. Linux doesn't need mud-slinging

(Unlike proprietary vendors who use every trick in the book to force users to stick with them)

You choose to become a victim.. no force works below that level.

I'll end this thread here.. not helping anyone :) Thanks for the discussion Erle Gishu
