If by "Just Published" you mean over six months ago, maybe. Basically, the troll is Daniel Lyons, a Forbes writer who at every opportunity tries to trash Linux. Just ignore him; or better yet, cancel your Forbes subscription, and a send a note to the Forbes publishers saying why. I've completely lost any respect I've had for the Forbes magazine, partially as a result of the multiple dreck masquerading as articles published by Dan Lyons. Speaking personally, I believe there are much better places for me to get my business news, including Business Week and the Economist.
