[ale] [Fwd: [Am-info] Windows XP doesn't like to share withLinux]

[Charles Shapiro]

Gee, I read Roblimo's article and thought it was humor -- a parody on
the uninformed, whiny journalists who write about how difficult it is to
work with Linux. Here's an example from Stephen Manes written last
Thursday... http://biz.yahoo.com/fo/020523/linux_gets_friendlier_1.html

Mr. Manes has some valid points, but it's a little strange to blame a
noisy fan on the operating system.

Lighten up aready!
