A world without Linux would be...(fill in the blank)[obviously a less
good place]
Does this mean we should stop trying to improve Linux?
Logical consistency would argue you are saying yes [ie. because
something has done well, that means it escapes criticism]. I say no.
America has done well. Can it not do better? Perhaps you say no. I
say yes. I think it needs to really, for it's own sake.
Same with M$ft. Should people just accept the way it is because it has
done well, or should they look for a superior alternative? It depends I
guess on how you define "well".
You like Bush. My standards are higher. This does not mean I don't
agree with you. It's just that my standards are higher.
