People often make the mistake of comparing Linux to Windows. I know one
is a serious operating system  - multi-user, multi-tasking and the other
is not. I still can not run multiple isolated sessions or login as
different users concurrently.

There is a place for Windows and a place for Linux. I do not see one
dislodging the other. In fact they co-exist very well thanks to the
standards. Good job EFF and IETF and other standards bodies. Without you
we would have had no choice.

Linux is the greatest fruit anarchy has yielded. The organized anarchy
is an amazing phenomenon of the last two decades.

"Linux is Not Windows"

Granted, more oriented towards the desktop crowd, but hopefully on-topic
enough. If not, I apologize. The only thing that I see wrong with it is
that the author does not get "libre" != "gratis". He states that FOSS is
free. He states that there is no monetary benefit to the developer with
FOSS as there is with proprietary software. I don't think this is
entirely true. But I guess it is more so than with proprietary (even
shareware).
