 From a John C. Dvorak article,

-- All the chatter on the message boards during the outage slowly got 
around to the subject of switching to Linux; there is no way such a 
thing could ever happen to Linux users. This is not what Microsoft wants 
to read, especially on its own forums. One could only imagine the 
screeching if the WGA server had still been down on Monday.
