I am correct, Linksys was never a company based on Linux and most of their products don’t use Linux now. You can whine about the exact numbers all you want, but Cisco and Linksys aren’t Linux companies no matter how desperate you are to name any. Google is the main one of course,and as one would suspect stocked to the hilt with leftists too.

I am correct,

You stated that Linksys had one Linux product, the WRT54G. That is provably false. You did not retract when corrected. It stands as a lie. Your other lie, which I notice you don't address, is saying that I said a Russian hacker worked for the DoD.

Cisco and Linksys aren’t Linux companies no matter how desperate you are to name any.

Nobody claimed they were. The claim is that they've made a lot of money off of Linux, especially pre-Cisco Linksys, which was an obscure manufacturer of cheap home networking parts until they released their Linux-based router.

Google is the main one of course,and as one would suspect stocked to the hilt with leftists too.

The issue isn't their politics. The issue is that Linux contributed to the economy by helping them build a multi-billion dollar company. You can whine about "Linux is hurting UNIX" all you want (although Apple, another bunch of leftists, seems to be doing quite well with UNIX) but the fact is that Linux has helped make a lot of people a lot of money.
