Hi,
however articles like this prove that his field is obviously not IT.
One might be able to go a little less harsh. Dave is writing about things
that he is not fully aware. Dave certainly does know some things about IT.
But not all things about IT.
If his article is correct, why have linux notebooks (like the asus)
been so incredibly popular and sold like hotcakes?
Only a fool would argue that all the people who bought an asus were like
the people portrayed in his article.
His article failed to mention distros such as Ubuntu, which have swept the
Linux community and (my view) made it easier to get into Linux.
I personally feel insulted. I have been using linux on a personal and
professional basis for ten years, and do not see myself as being anything
like the people described by Dave.

professional in his chosen field, however articles like this prove that
