I have to agree about the attacks that take place on windows users. It happens at almost every linux oriented site around the web, and several windows sites as well. Its not just linux, its the FOSS community in general. They attack users who have anything negative to say about their software or platform,
Example of our very own Zaine attacking ME for posting an honest review which attacked no one (I am Metshrine). Granted, my second review has a part that is uncalled for (so please don't bring that part up), but the attacks against my original review and against myself in this thread are just examples of attacks that take place all over the internet from people who are either FOSS enthusiasts or believers in that all software should be paid for ONE TIME ONLY, which has been spawned by the FOSS initiative.
One other thing I notice is that linux users, the fanatics, also take the time to insult Microsoft itself at any opportunity. Plenty of examples can be found where users find an article dealing with Microsoft and then bring up something as vain as OOXML or any other fault of Microsoft. Again, I have witnessed people bring stuff up like that for no reason other than because the original article had to do with Microsoft. I am sorry, but this is the one thing that detracts me from the FOSS world. That and given that there is no definitive source of support for many programs. A lot of them are supported only lightly by the developers because they use the mentality "I provided this for free, support it yourself".
These to me, are the biggest detractors from linux. I have had several people ask me if they should switch to linux and my response to them is "only if you have the time to find the answers on your own". The support for the average user is just not there and if it is it will resort in attacks for "not knowing the answer" or claiming that a but exists in the software.
