It makes a cogent thesis to the effect that:
"we need to silence our rantings against Microsoft"
I think it makes an excellent point. When I hear people at TLUG
meeting rant against Microsoft, they tend to make me think they are
raving lunatics.

It'd be like me running through town and screaming, "Don't eat cereal!
It's bad for you! Eat grass instead!"
------------
The author suggests that you need to be saying why grass is better; I
think he's right without going there. Anyone that runs around
screaming "Microsoft bad!" is undermining any position they wanted to
make.
