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.
