That article is a example of the "elite" looking down their nose at the "little people." The thing is, if anyone wants linux to spread, the linux community has to at least meet them halfway. Calling them morons or making fun of them isn't a step in the right direction. |
I wouldn't even call them elite in double quotes. These are the same people spreading the linux users are MS-haters fuss.
They seem like religious fanatics to me from time to time.
Many of them are even such hypocrites, just talking some stuff they read somewhere. Typically they even adore apple, just because it's also an underdog but forgetting that apple's software is even more closed than Microsofts.
And the grumbling about Linux not being spread so much, well they don't get that Linux' purpose isn't to be the market leader or something in the first place but to be a cheap alternative to expensive software.
It's funny that GNU/Linux users seem to call Microsoft the evil communist while Microsoft fans call Linux the evil communist
