I should clarify: I'm not hurt or offended by bcantrill's words, and the commercial success of Linux in the intervening years speaks more than any verbal response ever could.
On the other hand, even as a Linux advocate I found bcantrill's post freakin' hilarious. There are very few times when the universe gives you a perfect opportunity for a snappy retort, so I can't blame him for seizing the moment. While it's probably not bcantrill's favourite memory, I think that moment deserves to be remembered and respected for its comedic value, if nothing else.
