The logic used against MS is hilarious.
'If Longhorn is too different, users will have to train! That's BAD'
'If Longhorn is too similar, why upgrade? How AWFUL'

Course, that's how Linux is... between v. 6 and 7 of Red Hat, I discovered vast differences, but they both had similarities: wiping my hard drive of all useful information behind my back!

C'mon guys. Believe me, for evey argument you've got against MS, we've got one better against Linux.
