“I found this comment while I was browsing through an MS-Windows
oriented site where a blogger said something nasty about Microsoft.
It isn’t even worth to refer to the link, because it has nothing to
do with this story. It’s about the name-calling these Microsoft
fans do. I heard ‘zealots’, ‘bigots’, ‘advocates’, the whole lot.
Words I never knew before, because English is not my native tongue.
I don’t mind to be called a fanboy, because that is what I am. What
may be not too clear to these Microsoft zealots is why I am a
fanboy. It’s not because I really dig this ‘free the software, free
the world’ ideology. That came much later. It’s because I like this
‘gimme the source’ idea…”
