Download Squad should start being call Linux Squad.
It's hard to not come across the front page without seeing something about open source/Linux software to download.
I thought Download Squad was more of a site to find neat 'useful' downloads for Windows and OS X. Not Linux.

And what makes Linux not a OS like Windows or OSX?
As a matter of fact OSX is based on Unix, a forefather of Linux...

@David:
Not saying Linux isn't an OS X. Saying that for a site that's called Download Squad, it's a misleading title for a site that puts up a lot of Linux-based news.

I was just eying the front page. The majority of articles is still about Windows. So this leads me to the question, are you remarking about the existence of GNU/Linux articles, or the growing number of articles? Because as I interpret your comment, it makes me think that you dislike the very fact that there are any articles about GNU/Linux here at all.
And since GNU/Linux is as good an OS as both Windows and OS X, why shouldn't there be "neat useful downloads" for it as well?
As a pure Devils-Advocate counterpoint to your reasoning, since the majority of the articles on the front page is Windows oriented, shouldn't they in that case rename the site "Windows Squad"? ;)

When I go and read all your comments on this site, a pattern is quite evident.
Are you paid by a PR firm or just like to troll?
Hard to believe you're just a troll, with your large number of comments across this site and its sisters, alone. All pro-Microsoft (or pro-Microsoft products), and usually anti-anything NOT Microsoft.
I apologize if I'm incorrect or hurtful to you, but I am merely going by your comments. YOUR comments.

@Fredrik: I'm not complaining about the 'existence' of Linux/open source. In fact, I happen to like some elements of open source. And even Linux.
I just think that these days, it 'seems' that DS is putting more emphasis on Linux than than Windows or OS X. Maybe it's not just the # of articles, but I can't help but think articles related to Windows are just more about a download for Windows, and articles for Linux/open source are more for trying to get people to join it.
@K R : Well you don't happen to work for a PR firm or like to troll, do you? I have dignity, and I don't base my opinions on my workplace or a company. And even if I did work for MS, a lot of MS employees I know don't always use MS-only tools. Their employees blog a lot, and it's obvious that they aren't MS-only minded.
And of course, look into somebody's comments and make assumptions. Jump to conclusions. I see it must be very convenient that you don't have much of a comment history on Weblogs, Inc. I don't troll at all (just put my darn opinion if you would read), but I know that trolls like to have multiple accounts. And when you get a new account, you're starting fresh, and you've only just put a few comments. Maybe somebody like you?
