Seems that I really touched the nerve

Your long response shows that I really
touched the sensitive point. Though you
didn't said anything I didn't knew before.
Seriously, you say that Microsoft is trying
to dominate the show. And you're actively
helping them - my numbers prove it.
You say that you oblige to report what
vendor says. Thnx. If I'd want to read
Microsoft press-releases, I'd better go to
www.microsoft.com.
There are fresh Linux-related news coming
every day - where they are? You don't report
them 'cos Linus Torvalds doesn't send you
press releases? You cannot afford to daily
check comp.os.linux.announce?
I haven't noticed an article about Bank of
Montreal deploying 14.000 new OS/2 seats;
your article on IBM NetPC never mentions
BlueBird project, etc.
Thus, people interested in non-Wintel
platforms must go elsewhere to obtain useful
information. And those who don't know what
they're interested in take the impression
that there is no life beyond Wintel.
