    I have also suggested the same, but you have to realize that all of the built-in spyware would be discovered.

    In a business enviroment you want to have support from the software company. You can't get that for free from Debian or Redhat or anyone else.
    You can't get that from Microsoft either.

    RTFP, dipshit. He mentions the fact that he's productizing Linux and IGNORING LINUX IN GENERAL while making no claims to be speaking to the marketing drek that the microdroid is spitting. He then goes on to toss his own two cents in on what the microdroid is ignoring and what Linux "really is". He's voicing an opinion on what Microsoft "doesn't get" about Linux, or, at least, chooses to ignore, in this type of interview so they can focus on narrowly defined numbers that don't speak to the whole of Linux.

    Maybe if you took the time to actually read and digest the post before ripping into the poster like some dick-stroking wanker you'd sound like a little bit less of a lobotomized, shit-flinging moron. Get your nose out of your own shit for a few seconds and try some critical thinking for once. You may actually find you like it better than licking your own sweaty balls and stroking your over-inflated ego.

    Go ahead, punk. I dare you to try and flame back.
