It's a pro UNIX article covering Windoze daymares and subjects such as 
totaly cost of ownership. Why would this interest a Mac Evangelist? It's 
not a Mac source making it harder to pass off as biased zealotry. This 
next quote also points out something that's good to be shared through 
non-Mac sources for the same reason.

"If all that is true, why is Windows so popular, anyway? As anybody who 
is familiar with the history of computing is aware, Microsoft only 
adopted GUIs because Apple had demonstrated that the Macintosh with its 
GUI could maintain a significant market share even in the face of 
Microsoft's marketing might. The original Windows GUI was a clumsy 
knockoff of the Mac GUI, deliberately modified to be just enough 
different to avoid legal problems. Windows 95 is a slightly more 
consistent rehash."
