  1. Feeling homesick? by Bongoots · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's very similar to these shows they have on TV where people say they really want to move to country x on the other side of the world. Usually, after 3 or 4 weeks, they end up saying they "don't like country x" or want to go back home because "home is better".

    You can't expect country x / product y to be the same as what you were used to before. Grow some balls and stick with it.

    If you wanted it in the first place, then why not now?

    Did these companies fully look into the situation before migrating or are they doing this to give Linux a bad name?

    I have to congratulate the third company for sticking with Linux. They have balls! .. and so does Linux!!

    Paul Allen of Microsoft fame. Hmm. I wonder if his news organization will be fare and balanced to Gnu/Linux?
