I think the author makes some very valid arguments and presents them in a non-dogmatic way (from either side). I use Linux at home and Windows at work and am fairly happy in both environments. In general, I've found that Linux applications tend to lack polish and Windows applications (and the OS) tend to lack functionality (from a developer's POV).
I can also agree with the author that the fragmentation of the Linux market poses a significant barrier to entry to most unintiated and nontechnical users.
- cema 17y agoUbuntu has noticeably reduced fragmentation of the "user-visible" Linux (client-side). Fragmentation of the server side Linux (Red Hat, SUSE etc) is less important. Ubuntu has also somewhat lowered the startup costs and the learning curve. Of course, only so much can be done in this department.
