The OP is some brilliant Linux advocacy, actually. It shows the mental
barriers of adamant Windows users. "Ass kicking contest"; "Harly" (sic)... I
guess the next analogy would would have compared Linux to a trailer park.

For people who know better, there is Linux.

For people who know nothing (about the better choice), there is Windows.

At the end of the day, everyone is happy. The Linux user is happy to have
gotten a lot work done. The Windows user, as well, is satisfied, having
successfully cleaned up the Registry and fully defrag'ed the hard-drives.

Best wishes,

Roy
