Read it and think this guy can hardly be called an expert. He didn't need to 
install that many distro's to find out there's no support for his card. One 
distro would have been sufficient. (13 OS's installed in one day, this guy 
defenately needs to look for a new job outside the IT business). 
He seems not to understand the basics of Linux and even not windows. What he 
calls "works in win95" I would call "some functions are working in win95" and 
would probable be not sufficient for all users either.
Anyways, don't get influenced by people who hardly know how a compute works 
and try to write something about it on the net influencing other people with 
their frustrations. Both windows and Linux have their advantages and 
disadvantages. It's up to the user to deside whether the advantages are more 
important than the disadvantages.
