Oh boy.....

Why needlessly diss Linux and inaccurate ascribe technical and economic progress to Windows just to make a point about communism?

Windows wouldn’t exist without Unix and its variants (including Linux). Even Solaris is open source right now. Ande Mac is essentially BSD.

I just saved multiple thousands running my servers off Linux, I guess I’m evil.

Well, you have to ask the author that. However, it seems that you don’t have a grasp on linux Vs. Windows.

To say that Windows hasn’t changed the way we conduct business, manufacture goods, transfer information shows you lack perspective. It is the single greatest technical achievement in terms of job growth, innovation, wealth building and education in the history of man. To say otherwise is to deny its pervasiveness in all aspects of the world economy.

Linux is...well...free. And it’s crap. Nobody should have to enter line code if you want to upgrage your video card! Its impact on commerce is even less than Apple’s OSX and it has not been widely implemented in any business or technical field since its introduction. It simply is an inferior operating system that is a distant third behind OSX and Windows.
