RANT:

I am a long time Linux user. I know about it's advantages and flaws as a desktop platform. I like it and am unlikely to switch back to Windows (I tried and failed.)

But that doesn't mean if I make an argument defending Microsoft (or refuting bad claims in favor of Linux), I'm automatically a MS puppet posting right from Redmond while (censored) Ballmer's (censored).

Okay? I hate bad arguments, no matter which side they come from.
