Given that the author is completely upfront about his allegiances,
perhaps his frequent references to GNU/Linux are not too unreasonable.
And he is doing a 'compare and contrast' review with other operating
systems, so maybe you'd expect him to mention OS X and GNU/Linux a lot.
Of course, few Windows users, will ever read an article like this, so it
won't influence anybody much - they get their computers from PC World
with Windows already installed. And most Windows users don't ever
install Windows, so many of the author's comments - for example, about
partitioning, relative ease of installation, and dual booting - are
redundant.
But compared with a lot of stuff you read from FOSS zealots, I thought
this piece was balanced, thoughtful and temperate.
