One one hand they claim this is great "choice", but on the other they use it
to insist the user is *always* at fault for picking the wrong distro ...
though they also insist they are all really about the same and should be
counted as such on usage stats - and they fail to see why users would not
want to jump from distro to distro trying to find one that actually serves
them well. If you are not willing to find a tool that serves you half as
well as OS X or Windows than you must be a "sheep" who is not willing to
thing for yourself.

Amazing to watch.
