:Good Linux Users Don’t Talk About Microsoft
Good Linux Users Don’t Talk About Microsoft
Jul 1, 2009, 16 :32 UTC (13 Talkback[s]) (4965 reads)

(Other stories by Rich Menga)

"Truly happy Linux people couldn’t care less about Microsoft whatsoever. Instead, they just get down to business and make things work. Whether it’s for desktop, laptop, media center use or what-have-you, instead of bickering about Microsoft they’re getting things done, which of course is what matters the most.

"The good Linux users I know don’t even talk about Microsoft. Never will you see a "windoze", "winblows", "M$" or "Micro$oft" in anything they blog about. To note, those that do write those childish things are morons because as said above, nobody cares. You don’t see me calling Linux users tux turds, penguin poopers or GUI-challenged, do you?"
