Of course you know that as soon as MS says Linux is Ok all of a sudden
everyone else who formerly said Linux as a pathetic OS for cheaskate
hackers will change their tune and talk about it being a reasonable OS
with good potential. Most of the anti-Linux and anti-Mac trolls out
there simply don't like it because Microsoft told them to and they in
their ignorance need MS to tell them something for it to be true.
