Did he ever get that solid grasp on "the Linux way"?

No, he blamed Linux, and claims to be a fan, but he still hasn't been able to shake his Windows-centric mindset. He takes any opportunity to blast Linux for its flaws (sometimes justifiably -- anent helios's recent re-post of a hairyfeet rant) but for the most part his complaints boil down to "Windows hardware can be problematic under Linux", and "Linux doesn't do it how Windows does."
