There you see the author has been assimilated. MS Vista has a problem
and somehow it’s the other system’s fault. Same spin happened on
Slashdot.

The wording should be changed from
“It has been reported as a bug in the code on slashdot
which lead to this article about how many swedes in Lund
are unable to access the internet because the cities
infrastructure runs on Linux.”
to a more accurate description:
“It has been reported as a bug in the code on slashdot
which lead to this article about how many swedes in Lund
are unable to access the internet because they are
trying to run MS Vista”
