Albert Einstein
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeeded be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Re: ext3
ok, while I, as always, appreciate your vigor in standing up for poor little linux, this type of problem *is* a big deal. Ext3 is a journaling file system who's sole purpose of existance is to what? That's right, preserve data in case of Bad Things Happening.
Now, lets just assume that your company did NOT shell out the big bucks for one of the big boys' journalling FS on the big, expensive OS. Instead they chose to go the "better" open-source, cheaper, blah, blah route and then this 'obscure' bug bit them. Seeya Linux. Been nice knowinya. Seeya IT dude who stuck his neck out. This kind of bug is precisely the kind that Linux, as the underdog, can't have.
It's gotta be better, faster, cheaper, and at least as safe as the big expensive stuff. Fair? not quite. Realistic, I believe so.
