Like a wild animal in the headlights of a car, I read this "interview" posted on LXer.com. I couldn't stop reading no matter how hard I tried to stop.

With top-of-the-line journalism and fact gathering like:

With Linux on the desktop going from a slow crawl to verging on an explosion, many have toiled with the question: How do we make this happen faster? A well-known Austin-based Linux Advocate thinks he has the answer.

Emphasis mine. 

Where is the explosion? People frustrated by Linux ready to explode? People tired of being flamed by others when they ask a simple question in a forum? People confused as to why there are 2 web browsers, 3 e-mail programs, 5 text editors, etc. installed? Users annoyed by the need to COMPILE an application before installation?

But there's more:

Here's the deal. Ken has come to the correct conclusion that the majority of people who use a computer haven't a clue that they have a choice in how it's operated. Enter the GNU/Linux Operating System. During his time as a level 3 tech support specialist, Ken heard hundreds of horror stories first-hand and he knows what problems Windows Users face. Ken began a company called HeliOS Solutions to meet the need of long-suffering market.

Did Ken not get the memo that the vast majority of people don't care about choice in a computer operating system? Make it work. Make it work like their friends computers so they can use the same applications, open documents, share files, etc.

The company that Ken runs (I guess -- I'm a bit confused about the company after reading the article), helps install Linux for enterprises and home users.

He [a coworker] gets the specs on the customer's computer and matches the distro to that machine so we don't have any ugly surprises when we get there. The last thing you want to see is a shiny new Lexmark printer sitting beside the computer when you walk in the door.

That makes for easy support - when your customers are all running different distributions of Linux. Supposedly, Lexmark doesn't make Linux compatible drivers. The horror! How dare they cater to their target market of Windows and the Mac OS X. Almost makes me want to go out and buy a Lexmark printer!

Since we offer two weeks free phone support, we want to make sure the distro out-matches the user's ability to screw it up. We've received phone calls less than one hour later because someone has tried a new driver or inadvertently messed up the bootloader.

I love that about Linux. I've downloaded a lot of Linux distributions over the years and installed them on stand-alone PCs and in virtual machines as experiments. On several occasions the install became so horribly messed up that I decided it was faster to reinstall than it was to try to fix the problem. But the attitude of "user's ability to screw it up" speaks to the design of the OS, not to the hidden talents of the user. It's easy to do poorly with poorly designed software.

We are arranging for a small town in California to agree to go "Microsoft free" for a period of time. Maybe a month, maybe only a week. The idea is to draw massive media attention to the effort and therefore introduce America in particular to Linux. We are going to gather some priceless information from this project.

Oh my freaking Linux. You've got to be kidding me. That's one of the stupidest wastes of people time that I've heard of recently. Seriously -- who really wins in this "project"?

I've spent three years banging on this issue. We hold the key of Freedom for tens of millions of people and that freedom is Linux.

Dude. Seriously. GET A LIFE.

Look, my counterpart in California spelled it out best. You don't call a chevrolet a chevrolet every time you say it. Here in the states, it is most often abbreviated to "chevy". Same with Ford. You don't always refer to a ford as a Ford/Lincoln/Mercury do you? It's the same with Linux.

Eh? Ford is Ford. Lincoln and Mercury are different companies owned by Ford. Just because you see them together at a car dealer doesn't mean the company name is Ford/Lincoln/Mercury.

Richie Chapman, a good friend of Lobby4Linux and K4K stated it well .... He said that he installs Linux on others computers for free not because he's such a nice guy, which he actually is. He does it out of fear that if enough people aren't using Linux when Microsoft makes their "big move", then we will be just that easy to sweep away with the next DMCA-type midnight bill passage. People need to wake up and get involved. If not in my effort, than in someones. It's getting to the point where Microsoft is going to have to do something drastic to get rid of Linux as a competitor. Large numbers of users who are not afraid to stand up to a giant would be a good place to start.

What?! Is this a war? What "big move"? Should I be stockpiling RAM chips? Or getting ready to burn Linux DVDs? Microsoft? My chip-implant is ready to do your bidding now ....

I'm not going to give any additional support to their website by linking to it, but they have a wonderful tag-line:
