Today Ha'aretz published a response from Captain Internet to the "Angry Linuxers" (as they called it). The response is mild - it includes statements like (sorry for the rough translation): "lately there was a huge improvement with the Hebrew support", "many people are happy with it" but also: "Linux still can't replace Windows as a single operating system and no matter how fed up you are with Windows" (well he should come to my office for a visit, then).

However, we're very happy with the community support and the wave of responses that came to Hamakor and the various Linux forums. We were notified on 50 responses sent to Ha'aretz in protest of the article - this excluding the large number of responses in walla's comments section (who syndicated the Ha'aretz article) and excluding those who responded but didn't tell us. Many of those responses were very creative and well-put, although we were just as happy with the "plain" support emails that showed there are a lot of people that care.
