Linux is like marijuana. Its not the dope that's bad, its the people who use it. Most Linux users are shrill, narrow-minded fools who refuse to acknowledge basic economic and marketet concepts. They rant and rave all day about the stupidity of Windows users and the vast superiority of Linux, but when put to the test, most of their products fail miserably. We had 2 linux boxes in our DMZ get hacked, owned, and filled to the rim with porn while 10 windows boxes next to them purred along fine (and secure). When confronted about this issue, the admin at our office had the gall to blame this on those Windows boxes.

I feel sorry for the Linux community, not because Linux is a bad technology. Linux rocks. Its the people in the community who are abandoning common sense and logic in favor of some holy war mentality.
