Most people don't know it or even care. M$ has done a great job of
poisoning the mindspace: "Linux is hard; Linux is not ready." People who
know I do Linux think I'm some kind of a genius <ha!>.

It saddens and angers me, but public outreach has become less successful
in the time I've been around. I see it as a flop waiting to happen.
