Quite.  Some of the terminology sounds impressive, but then doesn't mean 
anything when analysed.  I mean,

   "However, fixing bugs is not practical for most companies, and 
modifications can be positively dangerous.  If you are really going to 
do these things, you need to hire several reliable programmers with 
kernel-level skills: not a cheap proposition."

talking about OS software, not just the kernel.  Bollocks!  What the 
hell is he talking about?  And more:

   "...leaving you with no choice but to undo your work or risk a "fork" 
- then you really are on your own without a paddle.

To use his words, 'Twaddle!'.  That and dodgy costings for TCO.

What a twat.

Will.
