Nice article, I thought - and quite balanced. In fact, I found it difficult
to disagree with his observations and findings, even though he called it a
4:3 win for MS. If one admits to being "a bit tech, savvy" of course, that
completely turns his conclusion around and more, which again is imo to be
expected at least.
To me, what is coming across very strongly these days is how much publicity
like this that Linux is getting, and most/all of it is *good* publicity.
