Digg, it's all about the comments.

More often than not, when I am browsing through Digg I usually read the comments before the article and mostly find the user comments far more entertaining and sometimes more informative than the actual article. Today is no exception.
In an article that hit the front page today called, “If Microsoft invented Linux...” - Submitted by sourceholder.
I was highly amused by a retort to this comment by daxsymbiont:

there's no bloat in windows.
windows is where linux wants to be.
when linux does something that windows did in 1995 "OMG LOOK AT THIS MASTERPIECE OF TECHNOLOGY!".
when windows does something new "again bloat".
bury it, cause it's true.

And before you ask, yes I did bury that comment not because it's true but because I believe it is false....bullshit actually.... But that would be a whole other blog post.

dcollins replied with:

If what you are saying is true, I better call google and alert them they are running their servers on 10yo technology.

Which in turn led to my favorite comment of the day by Nicksname1:

dcollins> Yeah Google are you there?
GOOG411> Yes how may I help you
dcollins> Hey daxsymbiont says you guys are running on old 10 yo technology and you should get Windows because it's bloated with features
GOOG411> You tell daxsymbiont to go fuck himself!

Maybe it's my warped sense of humour or the fact that I had didn't get much sleep last night but this comment wins the gold for today. Also at the top of the comments is the biggest list of spoiler comments I have seen. This story was yet another one that I, and probably many others have dugg for the comments rather than the article.
Oh by the way, what would it look like if Microsoft invented linux??



I encourage you to have a read of the digg page and comments here: http://digg.com/linux_unix/If_Microsoft_Invented_Linux

I should point out that I did not submit this article, nor do I know the submitter. I am not asking for diggs on this story either, although not that it matters, it seems to have done pretty well for itself.
