Quoting:As someone who writes about Windows for a living, I get a disproportionate amount of feedback from people who argue that open-source software is a panacea and that dumping Windows for Linux is the answer to every problem that affects the Windows ecosystem. The market is doing a pretty good job of proving that they’re wrong, as this example shows.


You mean the market that MS has manipulated for years to lock people into their software and try to ensure that they don't know there are viable alternatives?

Yeah, that market.

Seriously, these people are a waste of time and electrons. There's no point in even trying to have a discussion with them.
