But the subsequent discussion in the article's comments section was much more balanced -- not only regarding Linux, but the whole mess around licensing issues, patents, interoperability and MS's abuse of its position, etc.

It really took off when the original author (who considers himself a reasonably impartial user of Windows, and OS X, and Linux) popped in a couple of times to make disparaging remarks about trolls, and having to "wade through so much Linux fanboy bile."

Intech appears to be a rather clearly Mac-centric outfit, that has ported some of their software (in this case, QuickBench) to Windows, as well. But I can't even find Linux mentioned on Intech's website.

I devoutly hope so.

(Amen!)
