"One thing you can't say about the Open Source Community is that they sling FUD."
Whoa there! Of course the Open Source Community slings FUD. It's not done in the same way as anti-OSS companies (in marketing campaigns and press releases) but it most definatly does happen. Go read slahdot sometime. I know a lot of it is tongue-in-cheek but it goes on. No community is all squeeky clean, there will always be people bad mouthing the opposition, but as-long-as the FUD stays on the slashdot (et al) message boards I don't really mind. It's relativly harmless there.
