ZDNet has a column about complaints about Linux, including FUD from Microsoft now turning into a full frontal attack. “One by one the objections have fallen. Bit
by bit (pardon the pun) the people who code,
document, and market Linux have dealt with
the obstacles, technical or otherwise. This is
not to say that everything has been perfect,
or that there isn’t still a very long way to go
before Linux and open source computing achieve some of their still-elusive goals. But the community — and it still is very much a
community despite its substantial size increase over the last two years — has proven surprisingly responsive to the needs of the
computing mainstream.”
