I don't think so. Enthusiasm can go in any direction. Linux is being developed by enthusiasts, No? And yet, it does not take itself near where Windows is.. So I highly suspect that racketeering is being conducted by Microsoft.
Linux, by now, should've been and become "really appropriate" for the unwashed masses. But it has not. The enthusiasts involved in that direction, either are threatened by Windows Capones, or are bought by them into inaction. And that's to the utmost detriment of the consumers like any racketeering practice is.
I don't like that. I cannot say I cannot live with that, no, nothing like that, but I certainly don't like stuff of this nature around me. I resent it profoundly, and sincerely. I can't be that indifferent to such practices. That's how I am. I suspect that's also how .. what was his name, the fat guy with long hair who advocates linux over Windows with some vengeance involved, I guess. I've personally been pained enough by Windows to want it to go away where it belongs. Up the MS Capones asses, and nowhere else other than that.
If Windows didn't have a better rival, sure, I'd be content with it. But not when Linux is around. I want Linux to kill Windows. You do that by making it suitable for "unwashed masses."
