Ordinarily a thread like this turns into a flamefest in a matter of minutes. It was nice to see meng turn it into a proper discussion, rather than a heated series of rants. Maybe SteveJ will be willing to spend a little more time with Ubuntu as a result. +1 for meng!

Edit: Ehrm, the thread was combined with a megathread of Linux denigration rants. It’s unfortunate, but if you still want to see meng smooth-talk an irate Linux emigrant, start at post No. 4663 … you could click here, but that will only show you the single post. You’ll still have to jump to the end page to see the entire discussion unfold. Personally, I think it’s worth it, but don’t feel obliged. 😉
