Just archive and delete his comments.
Next time if anyone see, just don't bother and waste time.
Delete comments like that straight away, we have better things to do.
Like billy had said, his own incompetence on linux is shown clearly with his
examples.
With no proof, one can say anything out of air.
User problem and not OS problem.
And most of the problems can be solved by culture and third party companies.

Notice that he got nothing to say about these points below despite being a
windows pro user I guess.
*1. Ubuntu Linux has fewer security issues and viruses
**5. Ubuntu Linux comes with productivity tools pre-installed
**8. Ubuntu Linux software repository contains a massive collection of
software, free
**9. Personal settings and files and unlimited updates
**10. Ubuntu Linux is Free! (as in beer)

Thanks to him, we can focus on these points more than other points in my
opinion.

Regards
John
