Actually, I didn't even defend or mention Vista. I simply pointed out
how pathetic and desperate the Lintrolls were making themselves appear. I
daresay that a lot more people would be willing to try Linux if they weren't
put off by the antics and manners of so very many of the Linux "advocates."
The Lintrolls, with their irrational, almost religious, fervor, are doing
their "cause" more harm than good.
And, just for clarification, I usually have one Linux distro or another
running on a spare machine for experimentation. Who knows? Maybe if I ever
come across a distro that can meet all of my needs, run all of the
applications (not watered-down open source "equivalents") I want to use, and
has device drivers readily available for anything I want to add, I just
might switch to Linux on my primary machine. Linux has come a long ways,
and makes an excellent server, but it's simply "not ready for prime time" as
a home consumer desktop OS.
