Not a line that will make my mom want switch to linux. If anything, seeing such words would make her stay away from it.
You should work for Microsoft's anti-linux task force - you'd scare more people away from linux than anything ms has done so far.
Is this really the type of language that needs to be applied to computing? When language like this is applied to any cause it generally produces a negative reaction, not a positive one.
And be careful, because sometimes you get exactly what you ask for. Let's see. The author proposes the eradication of microsoft, and the consolidation of linux distributions. How is that better for anyone? Do you think you'll be able to download this hypothetical consolidated linux for free if its the only choice?
Linux does not exist in a vacuum. It exists because of windows, in reaction to windows. It enjoys success because of its technical merits and its relative cost, among many other things. Let the user base grow based on its merits, not because people like you shove it down everyone's throat.
