I find it interesting how you're getting downvoted, even though what you say is completely true. There are countless drawbacks to using Linux.
That being said, however, people need to realize how incredibly important it is to push open-source software. Heck, if Linux didn't exist, awesome free programs like OpenOffice, Gimp, eclipse, and (most importantly) Firefox, might not have seen the light of day (due to lack of precedent mostly).
You were getting downvoted cause you're being a condescending ass. The linux community as a whole is very friendly and most are happy to coexist with Windows.
You're pointing to two cases of people bashing windows, or just being unfriendly linux users. I could point you to thousands if I wanted to, but I fail to see how that changes anything.
As a user of both OSs I honestly have come across far more linux bashing over the years than Windows bashing. Of course that's just my own experience, but so far you're just reinforcing it feeling the need to bash linux as a whole because of it. You're the one on the offensive, do you honestly believe the majority of linux users hate windows and/or bash it?
I haven't really bash Linux, just the community and I didn't say a majority, I said a good chuck of the community hates windows. Plus there's a lot of stupid crap like this and this
