I sometimes wonder why I submit myself to indignities of reading that Microsoft shill and that shit site in general. This kind of corporate garbage should be a bannable offense of /v/Linux.
I've just checked the author of all the zdnet articles submitted a nd gone to his bio page:
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, aka sjvn, has been writing about technology and the business of technology since CP/M-80 was the cutting edge, PC operating system; 300bps was a fast Internet connection; WordStar was the state of the art word pro…cessor; and we liked it.His work has been published in everything from highly technical publications (IEEE Computer, ACM NetWorker, Byte) to business publications (eWEEK, InformationWeek, ZDNet) to popular technology (Computer Shopper, PC Magazine, PC World) to the mainstream press (Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, BusinessWeek
It's not a coincidence. It says right there that sjvn is him. Look, I have no problem people promoting their own writing here. If I had a Linux related website I'd post my stuff here as well, I'd even tell you guys that it was me and I'd pay Voat ads for it, I don't give a shit I play in an open field. What I really fucking dislike is his corporate cocksucking, his Microsoft is now good and loves Linux bullshit he's being paid to spread around here. Like I've said several times before, Microsoft loves Linux unless you're using it. They love it on their servers and their networks, because Windows is complete fucking garbage for everything these days, they hate it on your computers.
I don't know what is to be done with this shill. I'll leave it to you, you're the mod around here. But I will call him out, fuck that guy.

It might be a coincidence but the OP was called out here in the comments last week: https://voat.co/v/Linux/comments/1284835

Given the SN name here, there's a very fair chance you are replying to the author of that article.
