I think with Linux expanding with 1 million new desktops per month
and selling 1 million embedded Linux gadgets PER DAY, the myths are becoming
self serving porridge for loosers.
If you are slow to adopt Linux then its advantages and benefits
are reserved on those that adopt early.
Long time ago, early adopters had to put up with pain
because of bleeding edge technology. The geek barrier was
high. Now there is no pain and geek barrier is very low.
The infrastructure is so vast and superior, if you are not
using it, you are falling behind.
