No, I haven't been harmed by some Linux user in the past, but the fact remains that all of you like to bash Microsoft just because it is Microsoft.
You claim that Windows always crashes? Mine never crashes. If you spent half the time learning Windows that you did learning Linux you'd not only be a hell of a lot more popular with the chicks (when their computers break), but you'd also be able to keep your system running stable.
You claim that hax0rz steal your porn? Learn how to protect your system. Disable scripting. Get a virus scanner. Sheesh.
You claim that Gates is spying on you? That's about as stupid as the grannies afraid Bin Laden is going to mail them Anthrax. What are you doing that you shouldn't be???
You claim that Windows costs too much? Well, ok.
Even so, I'd rather pay 99 bucks for an OS that I don't need to recompile every time somebody farts in the room. Also, I'm able to use the same programs at home that I do at the comp labs all over campus.
I've been a Slashdot reader since it was first made public. Back then the focus wasn't on how much Microsoft sucked, but how good an OS Linux was. The readers posted topical, sensible critiques of various platforms, and did so without using such mindless tactics as "yo! M$ sux0rs, 1'm 1337. Linix is k-rad!"
When the Slashdot community reverts to its original, intellectual, self, maybe then I'll spend less time playing Devil's Advocate, and more time discussing what is relevant.
And now, some left-wing zealot is going to moderate this post down to flamebait so none of the remaining few intelligent readers will see it and agree with me. Such is life when dealing with fanatics.
