That wasn't at ALL a blathering statement dripping with ignorance. Has he never used a desktop PC running Linux or a server running Solaris. Oh hell.. hasn't even used GOOGLE before? I hear they're running an open OS on their systems too. What does he have against "open" operating systems? I just as likely to point out that in a "closed" operating system, you cannot have enough people involved in vetting the software to test all integration/use cases.
