What is it with rancor coming from the Linux community?  Dude, his
response was pretty much a canned one.  You're behaving as if he told
you to fuck off or something.  BTW, assuming that someone has the
ability to use IE is generally a pretty safe assumption considering the
Windows/other ratio, I wouldn't take it as a personal insult.

Responses like this are why the Linux community will never be able to
fully evangelize their operating system.  You come off looking like an
ass rather than knowing what you're talking about.
