The facts are Linux has destroyed US software companies

And created others, and breathed new life into yet others. New products tend to cause casualties in the old market. Such is capitalism. Unless you're saying you don't believe in capitalism.

A decade ago it was predicted to wipe Unix out of the server room, but even IBM still sells Unix today, in big numbers.

IBM also sells Linux, in big numbers.

Yes I know you prefer junky foreign clones over their superior American orginals, but most don’t.

So says the troll to the person typing this on a Mac! And not even with the GPL-cored Safari, but Firefox. I have never had Linux as my main system.

Yes I believe in capitalism, not the socialized plan to move everyone to free software and destroy US software companies like “the father of free software” you endlessly defend. He wants us to pay a “software tax” instead, and quote “make proprietary software obsolete”, just like his followers.

You’re simply not believable, you usually claim you’re a .net programmer too, but spend all your time bashing Microsoft, defending foreign criminals who hack OSX to run on generic PC’s, defending copyLEFT, etc.
