Ask the Author of the Latest MS-Funded Windows vs. Linux Study 449
Last week on Slashdot you saw a (Microsoft-funded) research
study on Windows vs. (Novell) Linux reliability by Dr.Herbert
Thompson. Novell disagreed
with the study's conclusions. So did most Slashdot readers.
Thompson's work been mentioned on Slashdot before, especially his
famous five-line
script that could change electronic voting machine results
and his novel, The
Mezonic Agenda: Hacking the Presidency. He's a real,
genuine-article computer security expert (and regular Slashdot reader)
who is happy to put on his flame-resistant
suit and discuss his Microsoft vs. Linux study with you. So
ask whatever you like, one question per post. We'll send him 10 of the highest-moderated questions and publish his
answers next Monday. He'll jump into the discussion then, which ought
to make it rather lively.

Developers just not targetting it is not it. It isn't like multimedia [openal.org] libraries don't [demon.co.uk] exist [opengl.org] for [libsdl.org] many platforms including Linux.
It's FUD spreading people like you who give OSS projects bad press. Go stand in the corner and think of what you did.
