Hahhaa ... I was about to flame you on sexism .. But then I read the article .. :D

"Osama bin laden uses Linux " :D

and

If you see a company using Linux, it may be that they have not paid for this software. Report them to the Business Software Alliance who have the legal authority to inspect any company’s computers for illegal programs like Linux.

Only one statement holds true in Ms/Mrs.Shelly's nice little article(below) not in terms of disease but in terms of how fast the cancer cell spreads! The same is happening with linux...........SPreading like a cancer cell every where now.

many liberal universities that a leading computer expert Steve Balmer (from Microsoft) described Linux as cancer.

I have seen it before and I rather find it as a piece of satire. There are a few things that point that she's actually meaning the opposite of what it seems up first. I will have to read it again to point it out.

I just have to quote this, it's just too funny. This is by the idiot who made the site:
Let me summarize this:

Windows XP Home is for the everday computer user.
Windows XP Pro is for the computer professional.
Windows NT is for the website hoster and network professional.
Windows Vista is for programmers (currently).
Mac OS X is for gays and metrosexuals.
Linux is for perverts and terrorist killers who do everything just not supporting America!

Bribing bloggers the Microsoft way
Dec. 27, 2006

Want to know why Microsoft has so many people saying good things about it, despite endless security problems, high-prices, product lock-in, and a big-brother attitude towards using their products? They bribe people.

Microsoft blogger Long Zheng tells us that he and many other bloggers, from the "A-list to Z-list," received an early Christmas present: Acer's Ferrari laptops.
read more: *www.linux-watch.com/news/NS4598924090.html

Microsoft's latest attempt to curry public favor apparently began on its community-site, The Hive. This time, the company is giving bloggers free, expensive laptops preloaded with Vista.

I don't know whether I should recommend the other articles on her site for reading. They're even more horrible short-sighted. I can't believe one can live in this age and agree with what's up there.

That women is extreme racist, silly, extreme conservative american, narrow minded, I am surprised some of us would bother reading her articles. I guess if you understand her writings you would never even visit her blog or give importance to what she says. Ignore that blog, don't increase her profile views just like that, she is a typical attention seeker.

Firstly the writer is not a girl, it's a boy, named "Tristan Shuddery", a conservative aged 54, a friend of shelly, whos posted on that site. Please read carefully.

Secondly, the site is fictional and all the characters supporting "Tristan Shuddery " too.

For those of you who are still worried this site might be real, I just thought I should point out the archived webpage from May 13, 2006. Using the archive system at Internet Archive.org I was able to look up a page which once existed on STR but has since been removed. Isn't the internet grand?

8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?
BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.
Your son may try to install "lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional.
If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.
