“Nobody is attacking OpenSolaris, FreeBSD, or Mac OS X. Sure,
Microsoft is trying to counter Apple’s stylish marketing and
healthy growth, but they’re not name-calling or lying their heads
off about how those religious zealot Communist Apple hippies are
destroying America. Yes, that’s a rhetorical question and we all
know the answer– because Linux/FOSS are the only genuine
competitors to Microsoft on the planet. Microsoft has no idea how
to compete on merit, or how to counter a competitor that cannot be
bought off, legislated out of existence, or destroyed. Plus it
props up a half-trillion dollar commerical ecosystem whose survival
is dependent on a continuing stream of shoddy, insecure, throwaway
products. All of those Redmond remoras are not going to go out and
get honest jobs; they’ve tied their fortunes to Microsoft and will
fight tooth and nail to maintain the status quo.”
