I want Linux to succeed because I believe Linux is an excellent operating system, that the GPL is a cool thing, and that open source in general is something worth building upon. But does success for Linux have to come at the price of ripping down Microsoft? No, it doesn't. But, when they try to distort reality with their perceptions, we need to counter their statements with the truth. Not with scathing flames and rants, but with our own calm and reasonable statements. We have to get the word out beyond our little community and into the mindset of the wider public view. That is where this argument will be won, not on the PC.
