This guy is smoking excellent weed!

If he thinks for a minute that the public wants the free DUMB to have a confusing set of sub-standard software, from multiple vendors, with virtually no support, and no way to ensure that they will still be here in ten years, then YES! He must be stoned.

Right now, Linux is ALL about FREE. IBM loves it because it is FREE. RED HAT loves it because it is FREE. China loves it because it is for FREE. And TIVO loves it because it is FREE.

Anyone that wants a second rate operating system that is always playing catch-up deserves to have Linux.
