“Like any war, the OS Wars stimulate creativity, spark
religious battles and divide the wannabes from the true innovators.

“Give me back the days of the Linux zealots who hate Microsoft
so much that they remove Washington state from the US Map. Return
me to those days of all Microsoft shops that threaten firing to
anyone even uttering the word ‘Linux’ on company property. Send me
back in time to the days of “Ken, why are you wasting your time
with Linux?” I want to hear Microsoft bigots pronounce Linux with a
long I. Where are the days before every Windows desktop ran a Linux
virtual machine? Where indeed.”
