The pen is mightier than the FUD

Normally I try to avoid Rob Enderle's stories. The one-man analyst group is more often wrong than right, his analyses incoherent and filled with off-base assumptions. His latest few pieces are downright insulting but also offer us an insight into his reasoning.

It started a few days ago when Rob proclaimed that Open Source and Linux are losing momentum, without any evidence to back this up and despite that IDC and Gartner are saying the exact opposite. But that matters little, as even Rob himself hardly references this subject in his article. It's only a framework on which to hang a different—and often debunked—tale: Free Software is communist. Yup, here we go again.
