I have been reading the article and a lot of the comments with interest and a certain amount of humour. I have been a Linux and MS user for many years and this year I bought a second hand G4 Mac on a whim to see what all the fuss was about. Well.. Mac OS9 is like using an old Amiga - in fact i got my old Amiga out of the Attic and sparked it up and the similarities are so close its unbelievable but the Amiga runs faster and was easier to set up. The new Apple OS (my friend has a new MAC) is Linux with a few tweaks - so how any Apple user can run down Linux is unbelieveable. The argument that Linux will never be desktop ready is also rubbish and this could only come from a propriety platform supporter/user/developer - the reason Linux struggles is because of these people not releasing hardware info as fast as they do for Apple or Microsoft. I also suggest that you tell the Chinese government that Linux is not ready as they are now using it over any other platform and if you check figures worldwide you will find that Apple has been left behind and Microsoft is now looking over its shoulder - or maybe people like Dell, HP and IBM and Novell have got their sums wrong??? Sorry to have a go at an Apple supporter but you really should get your facts right - by the way I am quite happy to install Linux for you and show you how it will happily chunter along for years without falling over. A new Apple user that is not impressed as you can probably tell.
