Top five things Linux can learn from Microsoft

I was reading OS News this morning and came across an interesting article from Linux-Watch.

It's the "Top five things Linux can learn from Microsoft" by Steven Vaughan-Nicholas.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect at first, but it's insightful and after seeing MSDN as #1 on his list it's obvious he 'gets' it. It's about the developers, developers, developers (youtube video)

It's not about money, it's about having something that is always demanding more of you.  Of course, windows is easy to install, easy to use and functions... well enough i guess.  Some distros of linux are just as easy(ubuntu) where yo select the program you want from a list and you're done and the install is totally automated.  I like using something that challenges me(gentoo) where you have to give a little more and learn a lot in the process.  I know much more about computers and their ins and outs because i'm not afraid to give a little effort.  Nobody who programs for linux wants money for it, otherwise they wouldn't do it! The beauty of Linux is in a world where everyone seems to hate eachother, some people who are computer savvy are willing to make something with their time to help others, and then do support for it.  Go Linux!
