Some Nuts started spinning that google choosing Wine is not really an indictment against Linux.

The frigging Lamex system is under development for 15 years. The open sores coders went to work, and coded many incompatible graphics environments, Windows managers, and sound systems. Many other fools jumped in and created numerous incompatible distributions many of which differ from each other only in gratuitous ways. They have been talking about standardizing things for a very long time, but if it didn't happen in such a long time, there is no reason to believe it will ever get done. Meanwhile, even companies like google, who openly support open sores, won't even write a native version of their programs for Linux.

This is the story of the Lamex system, an example of what happens when you give reins to the geeks with no adult supervision or coordination. It's a pathetic failure of an experiment.
