Judging by the developer's comments it is more likely intentionally spreading 
misinformation.

However, my experience with corporate developers, even a couple of those I 
know personally, is that they are quite undereducated regarding the state of 
Linux/free software desktops.

My observation is that often company policies probihit gathering information 
about things which are currently not considered a requirement and very few of 
those developers are motivated to do it on their spare time.

Other than Linux desktop knowledge becoming a requirement I see just a few 
options, such as a company or organisation offering courses, because 
managment will often send staff to such courses based on the possibily of the 
taught knowlegde becoming a requirement.

Cheers,
Kevin
