Tell me really, did all those Cola-Wars TV ads really help you choose which soft drink you choose. Probably not! If the point of M$ bashing is to advance Linux in some way, I'd have to say that everyone would be doing a better job by finding more ways that Linux can out-do or even leap past Windows. I read an interesting article on ZDNet today about StarOffice and MSOffice that summed it up nicely: "If you keep aiming where Microsoft has already been, then your opportunities will be in China. A better tactic is to take aim at where the IT market is going to be and your opportunities will be much wider."
