Who is this Bob Marr guy anyway? The editorial he wrote on the bloat in Linux desktops was really odd... and all the rage today.
I have no problems with his complaints about the desktop and his perceptions of it. The thing that caught me was him completely slamming Havoc.
I wouldn't even mind it if he was slamming people throughout the article but to throw Havoc's name in in the last paragraph was really odd. He just pulled his name out of a changelog, assumed it was all Havoc's fault and rushed his article out to press. Hell, I used to post comments on Slashdot calling Havoc a "Debian Sellout"... but I was sitting beside him... and kidding. OK, that has nothing to do with this, I just wanted to tell the story again.... although, I can't actually find the comments anymore.. hmmmm
At any rate, I wonder if this Bob dude is going to try to use this as his new hook for getting readership. Hell, he could be the next Nick Petreley - Wow!
