Summary: GNU/Linux proponents are having a field day owing to Linux success in HPC, Web servers, phones, tablets, etc.

BACK in the days, until a few years back, GNU/Linux was in somewhat of a state of emergency. This game had the "critical mass" factor built into it. Ever since, however, particularly in recent years, GNU/Linux advocacy became easier and the FUD against the platform -- patents aside -- has become very scarce. Several of our readers made this observation independently. If Techrights misses some bits of FUD that need to be countered, please let us know. We just don't find as much of that as we used to. ⬆

Even MS FUD in general. The most I tend to hear out of Redmond & minions these days is something about pretending that Windows Phone 7 actually matters.

Just two or three years ago, all kinds of statements about Linux were being made on a regular basis by Microserfs. My personal favorite was: Linux requires you to use a compiler in order to listen to a music CD.

It does seem like Team Apologista is remarkably quieter than it was around 2008-2009.

If you are referring to Mono Team Apologista, well... they have gone mute. A year ago they attacked me daily and now -- almost nothing.
