Look at how well "Windows" treats Linux installs. It smoothens out the installation experience for the new user. We continue to call it "DOS" despite the fact that they are most definitely not using DOS? Many younger computer users these days perhaps have never even seen DOS. Yes Window is very hostile toward Linux. Even after all these years, their latest operating system Windows .NET beta still calls a Linux partition "Unknown" in its disk manager tool. They continue refuse to acknowledge the existence of Linux because it would further legitimize us as a competitor. By acknowledging the existence of Windows in our own operating system, we show some of our greatest strengths in coexistence and interoperabity, while making the installation experience smoother and less confusing for the new user. Are we really the better group for using the same tactics of refusing to work smoothly with competitors?
