We could all most probably get along fine if it wasn't for the FUD that's spread about Linux/Open Source.
If everybody wasn't so scared of Linux/Open Source, they wouldn't be finding any excuse whatsoever to dismiss it.
For me it's not OS hatred, Windows isn't worth hating! I vehemently oppose Microsoft's anti-competitive actions though. I vote for competition and freedom.
I would never assume that everybody else has the same views and experiences as me. I wouldn't suggest, just because I don't like the taste of pepperoni pizza, that nobody else will ever eat it, and that spinnach pizza will soon replace all other flavors.
The phrase 'Linux zealots' is so common these days, even if you say, "Hey, Linux is pretty neat", you'll probably be labelled as one.
I decided from now on, I shall use the term 'Microsoft zealots', to depict those who are pro-Microsoft and find any argument they can, no matter how pathetic, to try and belittle Linux/Open Source.

Now I think that sounds fun.
