Almost sounds like something from Steven Colbert... Funny....


I found that some conservative blog picked up the article:
http://shelleytherepublican.com/2006/04/linux-european-threat-to-our-computers.html

The comments on there are hilarious. Even Tristan himself posted, funny...

    Thanks for posting my article Shelley; I submitted this to the mainstream IT press, but none of them wanted to know. It's shocking to learn that the same liberal bias that infects mainstream news-sources also affects the technical press.

    Yes, Linux is a primative European clone; It is much less capable than Windows. In fact it omits features that were standard in Windows back in 1998; For example Linux has no built-in anti-virus or anti-spyware software.

    You cannot even buy popular utilities like Norton Security to compensate for this fact. There are no tools for common tasks like defragging a hard disk. God knows what you would use to send a fax or make a website. You cannot even get Front Page for Linux.

    Linux is that bad; The only explaination I can think for people using it is that it by-passes the protection given by American companies and the Dept of Homeland Security. It should be considered a terrorist program.
