For those interested (I just HAD to read this...) you can find it at
http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/Sunday-Times/frontpage.html?1723766
( <- I had to register to get that number, but I can't see that it
matters if others use it :). Pick 'Innovation' from the contents on the
left.

The article is a pretty tired editorial rant about Linux being
flavour-of-the-month in geek-world, and a giant step backwards from
Microsoft's offerings which are the 'way of the future' (you know, a
computer isn't anything beyond its user interface). It is short,
blatantly opinionated and contains no facts, so I doubt it will make any
difference to anyone.

"The Times", a respected British newspaper, published an article that was
offensively critical of Linux in its Sunday edition.

I urge Debian users and developers to _not_ respond to this article.
If you must respond, please do not represent yourself as having anything
to do with Debian.

When you're in a fight with an idiot, it's difficult for other people to
tell which one the idiot is.

        Thanks
