I just received the latest issue of the Outlook magazine.
It has a big article on Linux in it - mostly positive, but it starts
*very* badly:
"Last fortnight, when one man in this Delhi lug (Linux Users Group)
pointed out that Windows has its good points too, he was beaten up and
thrown out of the meeting by Linux fundamentalists."

Hey ILUG-Delhi - what the hell is this?
Why do people try to boost Linux on the basis of bashing Microsoft? It
does not speak well of Linux or Linux users if they are seen as rowdy,
intolerant facists. Making casual jokes about Windows and/or Microsoft is
all good and fine, but doing something like this is asking for big-time
trouble. Do you think Linus Torvalds would approve of something like this?
Linux is an operating system that grew out of cooperation between people.
It cooperates with any other OS under the sun, *including* Windows. To be
seen as anti-Windows is to drive a stake through Linux' heart.
We haven't worked so hard and so long to help Linux grow, just to have
some hormone-saturated script-kiddies destroy all the goodwill Linux has
earned. If the story reported is really true, then whoever did that should
be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for sullying the name of Linux this
way.
