heheh.
I used to be one of those "windows power users" myself. :)
Still am (only when forced to).
However, I look at windows as an obsolete, broken, vulnerability ridden POS
that it is. if gates and Co. were interested in marketing a quality
product, they would have taken care of all these problems years ago. I
guess the "maytag mentality" went out with companies like IBM and
others.... :(
At least the makes of Linux apps are hard working folks who care about what
they market (it is, after all, their reputations that are on the line if
they screw up). Also, I like the "maytag" ruggedness that is linux. :)
windows has its place, just not in my house.
