    A great film and an important one.
  2. Everybody loves a David and Goliath story, and this one is told almost entirely from David's point of view.

    Moore's film is unusually sharp looking for this sort of documentary, and comes complete with a nice soundtrack. But most important, it's as comprehensible as any "Dummies" guide, something even non-techies can enjoy.

    It is a boring parade of talking heads and technical gibberish that will do little to advance the Linux cause. Try again, guys.
