wow - if you fall from that high horse you're on you might seriously injure
yourself ! What does a user review of a product have to do with knowing how
the platform works ? Only an "expert" is allowed an opinion? If you tell
someone you like a movie, it has nice special effects but the acting sucks,
should you keep quiet unless you are a trained actor and special effects
wizard ? Anyone can discuss how they like or don't like a product - if they
want to post their opinions on their own website, go for it. Either disagree
with the review or agree - how you can make comments like that about
someone's product review is beyond me. Linux is all about being open and
sharing opinions and knowledge.
