While that Linux != Windows site holds some truth, it's really quite wrong in
many places. I don't even mean the stupid metaphors of cars vs. motorbikes,
that barely work even in the intended sense. The worst thing is, the author
implies people actually have more rights to the software when they get
Windows, then when they get "Linux".
Many people are simply oblivious to the huge work of the free software
community and don't want to believe, that GNU/Linux is intended for everyone.
Barely someone understands what's going on with software and everyone is full
of ideas that are just like some sort of propaganda. I've met perfectly
educated people (relatively illiterate in computer use though), that would
argue "Linux is meant for programmers/computer experts" "Linux isn't right
for me" (without ever trying it out) "I don't need Linux" "the software
market works very well, there is no need for change".
It's really sad to see how stuff like that story about the Dell notebook gets
shown on TV news, only makes everything worse than it already is...
