REALLY?
I'm sorry, I must have missed in the story where the author mentioned anything about which OS.

I'm surprised that you would even bring up the OS controversy. Every OS has it's use. Linux has no use being in a corporate environment where MS Office is predominant. I might suggest that in the future, you curb your enthusiasm in becoming the first response to an article, and use the 24 hour rule in all of your communications.
