Why do Windows journalists have to trash Linux?

What is it these days with all of the Linux-bashing articles that are being written by various people? It reminds me of a column I wrote a while back for Eye On Linux called “Desktop Linux: The Presstitutes Strike Again!” Trashing Linux seems to be a very nasty trend though I can’t understand why people bother to keep doing it. It’s as if they can’t think of anything else to write about, so they crank out yet another lame “Linux sucks!” article in a pathetic attempt to generate some page views.
