I recently attended two seminars, one by an organisation called AIMIA who presented a two hour forum exploring the future of search engine marketing trends in Australia and abroad. The other was by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C Web standards group). The speakers talked about trends that may shape the face of the Internet. The AIMIA conference main agenda items to discuss they where 'Use of Mobile Internet", Search Engine Optimisation technique, Web Marketing, and convergence.

Here is what I was thinking:
* Value 1: Challenger thinking - Think like a challenger, be creative, challenge the status quo.
* Value 2: Team Work - Act as one.
* Value 3: Personal renewal & excellence - commit to being the best you can.
* Value 4: Community focus - focus on providing the Internet community with the best Linux Desktop resource on the Internet.

You get a call to help your friend for the umpteen time fix a problem with their computer. “What's it doing?” you ask. “Its not running right” “But WHAT is not running right?” “I'm not sure, it's just slow” “Have you loaded anything lately?” “No, can you come over and take a peek at it?”... Sound familiar?

I recently read your review entitled “A Thoroughly Different Review of Lindows” and upon reading it, took exception with you lack of knowledge, integrity and obvious inability to use a search engine such as Google. In your article you take exception with Lindows, it's practices, and try to 'debunk' the Myths you believe that are bringing Lindows to the fore front of the desktop Linux market. My guess is that your intention is to get people to not use Lindows and move to some other Linux, which you may consider to be more 'pure' in it's Linux-ness. I'm not sure. I'm no mind reader, but based on articles, postings and ramblings of some of the half-crazed Linux zealots out there and the similarities between their babbling and yours, I hazard the above conjecture as an educated guess.
