All I can say is even if I disagree with some of the article claims too (which I do) - to make something productive of this one need to "file" those remarks first and foremost to the Haaretz reporter. Aside of steam-releasing activity here there's not much point in telling in Linux-IL how that article was baised, if this critisizm stays *only* here. This advice is not to "educate" you but rather based on positive experience I personally had with similar case with Captain Internet lately. This experience has not finished yet but have formed clean channels of communication to the captain through which I or we can convey our message.
My suggestion is that if it's important to you to have enough time for it, I would have advised writing something that will contradict their' conclusions yet written in a language that will not arrise their "automatic defenses" against religious linux freaks like us.

I always dislike haaretz artical about opensource,
they always sound like their computer guy is getting payed very well by
MS, and even if there is some small pro opensource part it's only for the
bigger anti opensource part to sound better
this artical is no diffrent and it's mostly BS,
from the high security cost compare to windows(yea right after the last
few weeks I expected a bit more modasty) to the crap about needing to
rewrite all the programs for linux how how horribly expensive it would be
(never heard of wine?of portable code writing?of things like
mozilla/openoffice which gain ground on windows computers and works as
well on linux one?), and that quote about from the kalalit guy which just
got a server from ms (which fell misrably during like virus and made their
system almost unsuable for 3 freaking days!! my doctor couldn't ever get
my test results!! so much for security!).


persoanly I feel safer if my health would be depended on linux servers...
