You can transmute the points of that website into
pro-Linux material that doesn't bash Microsoft:

Bashing: Vista requires hardware upgrades just to run
its bloated DRM "Treacherous Computing" anti-features.

1) Linux can be run comfortably on most systems
without a hardware upgrade.

Bashing: The new DRM additions allow Microsoft to
restrict access to your own files and delete any
software on your computer it deems "spyware."

2) It is very easy to create and control files on your
Linux computer.  Ubuntu Linux has an excellent package
manager that makes installing software a breeze, and
you will be notified by Linux before any software
changes.  You will have the opportunity and the option
to refuse any software changes.

Bashing: When you purchase Windows Vista, you are
leasing the software, not buying it.  According to the
lease agreement, you can only install Vista on one
computer and will have to purchase a new Vista for a
new computer.  Sometimes "Windows Genuine Advantage"
will declare a legitimate Vista installation to be an
illegal installation and make your computer stop
working.

3) Linux is free software.  You may install one copy
of Linux on several computers.  No one will care if
you do this.
