I groaned when I read that, and I'm a Windows fan. I can understand where he's coming from (in regarding the metaphor in context), but when the context changes even a little it becomes a ridiculous statement.

Also, to paraphrase Nexox Enigma:

As Linux fanbois and Jobsies alike are constantly telling us, you shouldn't have to upgrade a PC, EVER, just to run an OS.
