I really have no idea where you are coming from with this statement. My observation of the world is that "give the other cheek" gets you slapped twice and doesn't eventually put you in a better place (unless it is after you get to heaven, which I haven't yet experienced)
I wasn't arguing the technical, I was pointing out to the person making the comment about being a little happy about this that doing it out of revenge is not a good thing. Doing it for purely technical reasons is a good reason. Doing it because Linux "won" isn't since it hasn't.
