●● New Departure: Linux Haters Blog

Posted in FUD, GNU/Linux, Microsoft at 11:10 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Adios!

REMEMBER the incognito blogger known only as “Linux Hater”? We mentioned this character once before, after s/he had taken Boycott Novell’s claims to task. Miguel de Icaza is claimed to know the author, who was never publicly exposed. Anyway, we might never find out who that was, either. That blog is over.

It is worth pointing out that “Fake Steve Jobs” (another formerly ‘anonymous’ blog) was shut down by its creator several months after its author got exposed and found himself in some trouble. It was no-one other than a renowned Microsoft/SCO shill, Daniel Lyons, who harassed sites like Groklaw and "Show us the Code" (more information and background here). He also mentioned Boycott Novell in Forbes Magazine.

Remember our post from last week — a post about Microsoft offering $15,000 to Mac bloggers who are willing to sell Apple out. █
