Yankee Group slams 'Linux extremists' (ZDNet)Yankee Group slams 'Linux extremists' (ZDNet)Posted Apr 7, 2005 20:48 UTC (Thu) by emkey (guest, #144)In reply to: Yankee Group slams 'Linux extremists' (ZDNet) by doctornull Parent article: Yankee Group slams 'Linux extremists' (ZDNet)
I see it as just the opposite. Extremists are seldom if ever good for a cause. This is most especially true when the extremists start getting to large a percentage of the press coverage.
Microsofts games are extremely transparent. It doesn't take shrill voices and outrage to counter them. Heck, a reasonably bright and mature twelve year old would likely have little trouble seeing through the Microsoft smoke screen.

A community of people who are willing to keep reporters honest -- loudly and in public -- is a service to truth, justice and the American way, even if they could stand a few lessons in grammar, capitalization and politesse.

Since most people that purchase those products are > 12, either there is a problem in the logic or the implication is that the purchasers aren't as bright and mature as a twelve year old. Either way reality seems to be missing.

Children in reality *are* who won't lie for money. When they will, they're not children anymore -- they're "socialized".
Oh well, it's offtopic anyways but somewhat connected to whom would honestly benefit what, no?

They truly do work that, in many ways, we should thank them for. So much discussion could never have happened without them.
