Poor analogies lead to poor reasoning which leads to poor results. The
simple homespun wisdom of our forefathers is a lousy guide to the
complexities of the digital age.

Neither Linux nor Windows is a hammer, or a chainsaw.

I guess a Linux or Windows DVD would be equally good for cutting down a
tree, but I would bet that both would be slower than the chainsaw.
