Well I haven't read the article yet but from your description and the quote
it sounds like the classic 'kiss of death' argument.

My response would be that basically he's right. There are many, many
application areas that are well represented in the M$ world which we just
don't have. Yet. But that is changing rapidly. The KDE and GNOME
projects in particular are addressing many of those shortcomings, and they
are not the only ones. There are a bunch of promising projects in beta
right now that will be professional grade packages when they're finished.
A year from now Mr. Hewson will have to look a lot harder to find things to
pick at.
