I would have to totally agree with Linus on this one. Just think how you would feel if you found a link to a website named something linke linuxlover.com (or something else), only to find that it is yet another porn site just out to get your creditcard? We have already found this to be a problem with whitehouse.com, if Linus did not stop this now it is only a matter of time before someone else did the same.
As to how much this pettition will help, I don't know. One thing I do know is that it is just a matter of time until everyone makes drivers for linux, and possibly not make them for windows. With the rate of growth in the linux community it wont be long till we outgrow the number of windows users, this petition should hopefully open the eyes of different manufacturers, and allow our community to grow even quicker!! Me, I was signature number 438.
