No.  Linux is not supported by cowards.  IBM executives showed the 
deepest cowardice when they surrendered OS/2 to Microsoft and betrayed 
OS/2 users, customers, developers and partners.  Linux supporters won't 
do that.

And the PC press won't dare support Windows now that it's known that it 
is full of vulnerabilities, bugs and holes.

OS/2 was more solid than Windows too, but the Press wasn't afraid to 
blatantly mis-represent OS/2's benefits.  They won't do that with Linux.

Gates is wrong.
