I ran across the Linux Hater’s Blog a few weeks ago, and have been absolutely transfixed by it since.
The blog is a great perspective on how poor the usability of Linux is… it is really poor, in case anyone wasn’t sure. It is also very funny to read.
Much of the Linux community seems to have failed to see what this blog is really about. Possibly due, in part, to the very colorful language used on the blog. Instead of reading the posts and really looking into their meaning, the community has decided the author is simply a Windows fanboy who doesn’t know what he is talking about.
Reading into the posts, just a little, you realize that this blog is written by someone who knows a great deal about what he is talking about. I’d go as far to say that the author actually supports Linux, and wants to see it succeed… if only those responsible for the OS would wake up.
The attacks against the site have been typical of Linux Developers. Blinders on, they continue to miss the reasons why Linux has failed to make any significant inroads onto the desktop market. Although I doubt the Linux Hater’s Blog will open any of their eyes, we can hope.
A great blog to be following, if you don’t already! Much better then spending your time here, so why haven’t you left yet?
