That brought a smile to my face. XP is the most monstrously b0rked OS
ever ... an absolute abomination, so you'd think the Windows crowd would
be gagging for something better, but as it turns out, they're all so
convinced that Fista is going to be a steaming pile, that they want to
boycott it. Jesus.

Give it up (Windows) guys. Pull your heads out of your arses and just
use Linux. You know it makes sense.
