Very nice read. I have to agree with Linus entirely that Microsoft Hatred really is a disease. To be honest, blind Microsoft hatred and unproductive/unnecessary Microsoft-bashing are the two things that really put me off of the Linux community at times. Is Linux a better option for many, many things, over Microsoft? Sure, but that doesn't mean that Linux users should become zealots who take sick pleasure out of bashing Microsoft (a software vendor that they don't even use) at every possible opportunity.
This is the same issue that I get frustrated at Apple about, too. Apple's entire marketing campaign for the past 5+ years has been centered on pointing out the (real/imagined) problems of their chief competitor, rather than actually talk about the *advantages* of their product. Mac OS X *has *advantages over Microsoft. Linux *has* advantages over Microsoft. Why not talk about the *real* advantages of your platform, rather than beat up on the other guy? My two cents...
