Keep on thinking that shills

M$ shills have predicted the death of Linux for years. Over the last couple years countries in South America, Europe and most of Asia have committed to it. Major Wall Street financial institutions and banking firms in the US have switched to Linux. Many school systems have switched and more are on the way. The population of China alone will make it the most commonly used system. Yet, here you M$ shills are, still wasting garbage over being lovesick about M$ without an ax to grind, proclaiming Linux is dead.

You sound like the pregnant teenage girl in the deliver room giving birth swearing to her mom she is not pregnant.

Linux is here. Linux is here to stay. Linux is slowly but surely gaining market share, against an entrenched monopoly that will do anything, including bribing public officials, lying to it's customers, stealing other companies IP and patents, and giving it's bloatware away, although none of that made any difference anywhere yet. L6 renewals were a major disappointment to M$. That is just the tip of the iceburg. Ex-M$ customers have already started voting with their money and M$ does not like the way it looks. Denial isn't a river in Egypt, it's the state of mind of M$ shills. M$ knows what's coming. That is the reason for the massive FUD campaign. All you shills seem to forget the facts. Linux folks were happily plugging along at their own pace, doing their own thing when the M$ crowd appeared in the street in front of our house shouting insults and carrying slanderous campaign slogans. M$ pre-emptive strike backfired and now Linux is a major player in the world market. Your latest mantra, don't do anything, we'll have our brochureware longhorn ready for you in four years, will do nothing to slow the adoption. Promising a system that will increase lock-in, giving RIAA and MPAA direct access to systems and keeping open backdoors that will allow M$ to decide what they want you to have sounds more like a curse than a savior. It will also make it virtually impossible to conduct business with anyone not using M$. Oops, there goes your customers in foreign markets. Keep up with the insults. It appears the louder M$ shouts the more people seem to think they should check out Linux. Companies are tired of being locked-in to a system that has as it's major feature the ability to transport worms, viruses and trojans to every system on their network within minutes. Thanks M$ and shills for the advertisement. Nobody could have waged a better campaign for getting Linux known. Linux is now being taught in colleges and universities in areas M$ thought their stranglehold could never be broken.

M$ shlls, get used to it. Linux is here. Linux is going to stay. Linux adoption will continue. No amount of lies or FUD will change that.

Learn Linux or learn a new trade.
