" Instead of spending time telling Balmer which of his messages hit nerves so that he might refine his attacks, the linux community would do better to inform itself and respond by continuing to deliver the techincally superior solution. "

That is absolutely right. Funny how Ballmer employs the same tactics of terrorists!... So we must not get *terrorised* as the fundamental principle. But we must not delude ourselfs about what is superior.

"Beying a little superior, or proudly alone at our little corner, wont do"

Because going against an institutionalized big power, only means that that power will employ every force on their arsenal to topple the opponents... guess terrorism is the new big passion game for sec.XXI and soon will replace sports and art for leasure times... the sport and art of a big blast or Ballmer jumping arround promising to crush the competition!...

Back to topic, LINUX/OSS has to be really and "absolutely superior" to the competition on every aspects of computing, and has to get there steadly and slowly employing only ethical weapons, namely code and freedom, as it has been done... or soon there will also be LINUX/OSS terrorrists!.

"The actual LINUX/OSS paradigma is too short". New prespectives should be discussed about more and different code. More freedom if that is possible. LWN is a perfect site to start that discussion.
