"I don't think *Bill Gates* is ever going to have to worry about losing his
billions.
Now I know why *Microsoft* is a monopoly.
If I can't get my [some piece of exotic hardware] working, I'll just go back
to *Windows*.
Most of these mails seem so bitter that I assume the user has given up on
Linux and has gone back to his/her relationship with *Microsoft Windows*,
however dysfunctional that it may actually be. And that's a shame. Applying
some simple rules of common sense with respect to Linux would have made a
big difference. Based on what I've seen over the years, I'd like to offer
the person who wants to try Linux a few words of advice."
"Many emails I've received start with some variant of: I've decided to stick
it to *Bill Gates* and I've would like to try Linux ... Switching to Linux
just to spite *Bill Gates* isn't going to have its intended effect. He's not
going to notice the 0.000001 of a cent that he loses when you switch to
Linux."
Jeesus H Fuckin Christ, can none of these fuckwits write a single sentence
without whining about MS/BG/Windows ?
