It's a recurring thing which they used to do last year's event as well. They
confuse computer-literate with Linux. Professionals tend to use better
systems, such as Linux (others just follow the cattle). This doesn't mean that
the same crimes cannot be carried out using other O/Ses.

BitTorrent Admin Monitored by US Government, Forced to Dump Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Sk0t, an ex-administrator of the EliteTorrents BitTorrent tracker is to have

| wasn’t bad enough, the monitoring software is Windows based - which means he
| is being forced to ditch Linux - or face being barred from the internet.

Microsoft used to equate Open Source to communism (the Red Threat) and even had
a coordinated attack against Free software where they spoke about 'risks'.
Criminals will be criminals. The only criminals here are Microsoft and their
pals that use and create stereotypes to stifle competition.
