Pardon the spelling. Please.
Eric. No one wishes to see YOU jobless.
All the Linux comunity wants to see is Microsoft use better judgment in their business actions.
We all know how MS is. They run their copitition out of business by either purchasing them or tieing them up in court on bogus charges and bankrupting them.
And YES I have seen many Windows users and Microsoft chair persons talk very poorly against the Linux comunity. It is life and business survival. Also it is a free country where we are allowed to speek our mind. (some times) Soon though freedom of speach will not be part of the American way. We as sheep in this country work, pay our taxes and do what our Government tells us. And we continue to use Windows and trust Microsoft even though M.S. has shown us repetidly that we mean nothing to them and are nothing more than a mindless source of income for them. We dayly let our Constatutional rights slip away from us. We still have some but if you think about how this country realy is, we have already lost some of them.

  1. Freedom of speach. When you can be sued and lose everything you have ever worked for, family and friends, just because you spoke your mind. This happens here in the good old US of A. Right now.
2. Right to keep and bare arms. When your President ( Clinton ) tries to go through the United Nations to force gun controle on the people of this country. Which by the way our Congress stopped Mr. Clinton from doing.
I could go on but the point is this. Yes, Microsoft/Windows users do bash the Linux comunity.
We ( Linux users ) have the right to speak our minds about Microsofts actions, Just as Windows users have the right to complain about our complaining.
And it is unfourtunate that you may be out of a job in the MCSE line of work, no one should be happy that you can not feed your family, BUT. The blame should be on Microsoft, for having BAD morals and business practices which have caused you to lose your job.
For myself I hope you find a good job in your field soon.
But I also hope that M.S. comes to a proper state of mind, and flies right, or in the next 20 years they may find they are playing third fittle to Linux and Apple computers for a seat in the computer industry.
