Yes it does. Assuming that they do actually care about there customers enough
(given the Windows NT / Windows 2000 flaws, I'm not sure that they do).

Bollocks. I have found that most Linux lovers do so because they actually enjoy
using software that works (I have had less than a dozen major Linux crashes,
etc. - they were all either massive H/W failure or my fault). There is vast
amounts of Unix-bashing that go on in the NT camp (those that know what it is
anyway).

Plenty. I have read articles in many magazines that give Linux a "bad review".
I have heard things like: Linux doesn't come with any diagnostic / monitoring
tools, whereas Windows NT gives you everything you'll ever need for free. Just
because you haven't heard it, doesn't mean it don't exist.


Personally, I make MANY complaints about some Microsoft products and they way
they run their company. Yet it is all still founded. I complain about the
design of the System Registry, DLL version conflicts (which are the single
biggest cause of Windows dying) and a heap of other things. I don't see this as
OS bashing. I make complaints about Sun Microsystems too (although not as many)
as well as various Linux vendors.
