Almost Impossible To Sell A Pre_loaded Linux Desktop Computer 4518

Dear Sirs,

I find that these sort of posts raise important questions.

1. How much does Microsoft pay trolls to trash talk their compebreastion ? 2. How much would an ISP pay to rid themselves of trolls that start pointless, bandwidth burning flame wars ? 3. Is there a potential revenue stream here ? Would the readers of any particular news group contribute financially to payoff or rid them selves of such trash and lower the noise floor of their respective news groups ? ( There must be value in the time saved by not having to wade through this muck. ) 4. Is there a missing component in Linux distros ? Simply have the operating system trap the attempt to load anything .exe, then pattern match to application, then cross reference to available open source implementation, then auto download install, and execute .... 5. If every Linux system sold were to automatically post trash to Microsoft news groups, would Microsoft be willing to send cash to the Linux end user to have their systems stop doing this ?

My analysis of these flame wars is that they spew hate, waste time, raise blood pressure, go on forever, and prove nothing. Thus they are similar to an disease or an infection. People are willing to go to a doctor to obtain a cure for what ails them, and they are willing to pay for such a cure. People dislike sitting in traffic jams and are willing to pay more taxes to get relief for the problem.

Clearly there must be some motivation for these flame wars and I going to guess that its basis is somehow similar to one of the above and is either financially motivated, or can be cured through fiscal pressures.

Enjoy, Postmaster.
