Open souce is an opening out of the pain.
You can change the applications to really work for you and not only show bugs (= special features).

He is just being M$ sarcastic :), you know, get_the_facts and other FUD from M$ ???

He just conludes the opposite, "it worked", it did all the expected stuff without any fuss.

SHE was being sarcastic, as the original poster would have understood had he or she read the article. After that she says something along the lines of the open source community is making journalists' jobs hard because they basically just bitch about how hard linux is to use.

It's a very nice article, read it.

The author's name is Wendy Grossman, I think a lot of LWN readers would really like her work, I know I do.

Easy to understand

Closed Source == beaten into numbness.

Any questions? (-:
