His "ax to grind"...

...is really that Linux isn't ready for what HE does. And that really is the case for a lot of people out there.

Sometimes I get the impression that he WOULD love to jump the MS ship, but because Linux isn't good enough for him yet he refuses to burn his MS bridges. I also get the impression that he's tired of complaining about MS's shortcomings and isn't idealistic enough to think Linux will ever be good enough, and as a result has resigned himself to an MS world. And as a result of THAT, he has no tolerance of Linux zealots who act as if a wholesale MS to Linux conversion is no big deal.

But I also think that if the OSS movement (and its supporters) spent less time complaining about MS and more time getting their house in order that even he could be converted. (Which is why I try to stay away from name calling.)
