Thanks for the clarification. You confirm what I suspected: that you
did not, in fact, understand the sentence.

I do not imply anything of the kind. It was not my intention to do so,
there was no hidden subtext or anything else.

You are trying to "read between the lines" and you are making it up:
reading things which are not there.

Go look for some of my other articles. I am an enthusiastic and
evangelistic Linux and FOSS user and have been for a decade. I have no
sympathies or Microsoft affiliations whatsoever, and I really
seriously and deeply resent and object to you trying to put words into
my mouth.

In fact, I would like an apology.
