hey,
I'm as pro linux as you can get, and I have managed to avoid slamming MS.
the article I linked to at the start of this thread was written to inform people of the issues, let everyone decide for themselves, just give them the chance to have full information.

I sent an email to the author of the article, his response:

The article was written in the very early stages of testing, since it's release I have heard that MS is working on these issues, but my sources from the industry have not been talking with me so I have no current information.

my new system [ just bought it ] will be MS free forever.
I'll continue to be 100% linux and not have these issues, but not everyone is willing to tell Daz, Autodesk .. etc to take a hike, if you want my money make a linux version of your applications. I am willing to not be spending money for software that doesn't run on my OS. I'll spend money for software that does run on it, like Softimage XSI, Maya.
