I went to his blog and I can't believe that he wants to wage war on Linux and Opensource. I think Opensource is the way of the future. Besides many of my customers are residential and some can't afford to replace hardware or buy new systems so they can upgrade to a newer version of Windows. And most just need to surf the web, check Email and produce word documents. Not many ******** gamers just people who need to do daily tasks. Linux would be a great choice to breathe new life into their old PII systems.
