Forgive my crudeness, but what a prick.
To anybody who might be considering a similar scheme:
This is NOT effective Linux advocacy. Yes Windows sucks. Yes it is
prone to all sorts of idiotic security holes, and yes Linux has a better
track record. But rubbing that in the face of innocent Windows users
will not make them want to switch. It will make them want to kill
innocent Linux users.
Yes this is war. But let's win by being better, not by sinking to the
kind of tactics MicroSoft would use.
Thank you.
