It should be kept in mind that this is a LINUX list. Whether anyone
agrees or not, there are a many people on this list who hate Microsoft
or hate Windows, etc. Trying to enlighten them (assuming you think
that's worthwhile) is a losing proposition; they've made up their minds
and they don't want to listen, or they've heard all the arguments
before. (That's what makes these arguments _religious_.) People are
welcome to argue for or advocate Windows, but they're swimming against
the tide. I'd advocate asbestos underwear for those who do. ;-}
