I don't think so. Enthusiasm can go in any direction. Linux is being 
developed by enthusiasts, No? And yet, it does not take itself near 
where Windows is.. So I highly suspect that racketeering is being 
conducted by Microsoft.

Linux, by now, should've been and become "really appropriate" for the 
unwashed masses. But it has not. The enthusiasts involved in that 
direction, either are threatened by Windows Capones, or are bought by 
them into inaction. And that's to the utmost detriment of the consumers 
like any racketeering practice is.

I don't like that. I cannot say I cannot live with that, no, nothing 
like that, but I certainly don't like stuff of this nature around me. I 
resent it profoundly, and sincerely. I can't be that indifferent to such 
practices. That's how I am. I suspect that's also how .. what was his 
name, the fat guy with long hair who advocates linux over Windows with 
some vengeance involved, I guess. I've personally been pained enough by 
Windows to want it to go away where it belongs. Up the MS Capones asses, 
and nowhere else other than that.

If Windows didn't have a better rival, sure, I'd be content with it. But 
not when Linux is around. I want Linux to kill Windows. You do that by 
making it suitable for "unwashed masses."
