There are so many lies and exaggerations both about Linux and Windows in this article it's simply staggering. Looks like it was written with people who understand nothing about computers in mind.

> needing 1-2 weeks Sometimes up to several years or never. Are VirtualBox and VMWare host drivers included in the Linux kernel? Granted they are not "drivers" per se but anyways. OK, let…

A ton of anecdata, yet 1) Tons of Wifi adapters are not supported by the Linux kernel - you need to scavenge the web and compile random git repos 2) The games _you_ play work perfectly which means all…

Linux apologists will never accept running Linux on top of a closed source OS.

ReactOS is a pipedream which will never happen. BSDs are meant to be server OSes. Haiku sounds really promising but needs like 100x developers and money to take off which I don't see happening. G…

From the article: > Keep in mind that this list serves the purpose of showing what needs to be fixed in Linux rather than finding faults in it.
