[quote] 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. [/quote]
Linux exists because AST didn't want to open the source to minix. I personally don't use GNU/Linux because i hate windows. I use it because it works for me. If you use it in a reaction to windows, you should re-think your motives. But i still agree with you on the shoving part, lets get back coding and stop all this useless ranting, makes everyone look like kids =)
