In a move that frankly shocked me, Microsoft's propaganda wing, Slate,
published two users' points of view on installing linux. Their opinion?
It's not as good as windows. For anything. It's good as a web server,
but you're never going to get it up and running unless you're a complete
nerd.
Coming from a such a loving company as Microsoft who've done so much for
the computer industry, I find this hard to believe. Maybe the slate site
(http://www.slate.com/Features/linintro/linintro.asp) was hacked
--sorry, cracked -- by malicious free-sourcers in some sort of complex
double-bluff.
