It never ceases to amaze me.

There are those that whine that MS is too good and has unfair
advantages and start talking about anti-trust laws.

Then there are those that simply say MS Sucks, but use MS products
anyway.
If the MS hater's club really hates MS products so much, then why
don't they simply not use them.  Is someone putting a gun to their
heads?

Other OS's and Applications are available so I fail to understand
what all the bitching is about.  I guess some people just aren't
happy unless they have something to bitch about huh?

Why would he/they ever write a good O.S.They would be outa
business? 
They
just want to fix barely fast enough to appear to be progressive.
The 
multitude of most MS o.s's are more like applications, O.S.
functions
are
largely hidden by obfuscative GUI's and 'internal' settings....
just
my H.O. 

If you want a good (and rational) os, have linux ported to it!!!  ?
