While I agree with the article's author on the fact of Linux bieng over-rated, I differencetiate from there on.
Mac OSs only pro is the way it looks? Aparently hte author has never used OS X, with it's wonderufl functionality, or used Mac OS 9 or previous, with it's fugly style.
MS single handedly brou8gt hus affordable computers? So they could have done it without the hardware companies?
And with the insults to the EU, COME ON! Jesus Christ he sonuds like a 14 year old throwing out insults as fast as he can think of them.
And Sun and Oracle jsutsuing for profits? Has he ever been involved ina suit? A good number of suits cost more than the immeadiate profits.
He's an immature fanboy. This is coming from a WIndows fan writing on a Windows machine who wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm 16 and have some of the geekiest habits ever, but by choice.
When I was younger my parents (dad especially) would always take me camping, and I would always go and paly in the woods next door with my neighbors. I played soccer, ran around outside, lots of physical activity, a bunch of outdoor recreational stuff.
Well, somewhere down the line I started fiddling around with my dad's computer at work. I went from messing around with Paint, to exploring the control panel, to tweaking the theme colors, to what I am now. All over the course of maybe 4 years. Now I'm designed/coded more websites than I can count on my fingers, I have WAY too many video games for my own good, and sometimes I catch myself using geek slang at school.
The thing that is important though, is that I still go outside. I still rough-house with my dog, I still consider just laying on the grass outside and thinking good fun.
Just introduce your child to nature at a young age, and let them discover technology on your own. You shouldn't be trying to mold your child to what you want them to be, you should mold yourself. That way, they won't shun either, but enjoy both in harmony.

Your way with words is.. well... sorry to say the least.
I think he means the OOo office suite.
Ah, the life of a helpless consumer. ;)
