I've been a linux user since '94. What he sees as FUD, I just see as marketing. Do we expect competitors to not say bad and questionable things about their rivals? It seems to be a pretty common tactic across many industries. Microsoft: Linux is slow, illegal, communist, unreliable. Linux advocates: Microsoft is slow, horribly insecure, crashes all the time. Apple: Windows is for stupid people who aren't like you, hard to use, insecure. Most of them have varying amounts of real truth attached to them but generally overlook the big picture or just frame it in a way that makes them look best. In addition, most of the talking points work off of the previous age, things that were much more true some considerable time ago.
