Why did you think that? Show us ONE time any of us have said anything like
that bit of silliness.
Show us ONE time any of us have made the nutjob claims that Windows is
"perfect for..." or that Windows cannot be improved upon (as Greg 'Drunk
Bozo' Shearman insisted over and over and over about Linux).
C'mon pal - back up your accusations.

Why did you think that? Because MS sells $50 billion of software every
year, and many of their products are the best of their kind, and they hold
dominant market share positions in desktop operating systems and office
software, and Ballmer is one of the richest men in the world, and about 75%
of cola threads turn into MS discussions, and you use Windows to make a
living, and your family thinks you're weird when you rant against MS?

No matter how botched Vista is, it will NEVER be as botched as the
amateurish Linux/OSS "operating system". So Vista isn't a perfect program -
WTF did you expect?
If you used it with an open mind, you would see how nice it is, and how
amateurish it makes Linux look.

This thinking is why you're you (shrill freeloading Linux wack) and they're
MS (extremely successful and dominant).

Silly. All cola idiots fall back on "forced Windows on everyone" and
"illegal monopoly" and "channel stuffing" etc. But the minute a MS product
sells out, the whiners start bleating that MS is witholding inventory to
create artificial demand. The minute you ask them why MS SQL Server isn't
the dominant database "forced on business the way Windows was forced on the
world" they ignore you and run to their basements and draw pics of Bill
Gates with horns.
MS can't win with Linux lusers.

Why doesn't Linux have advertising or PR firms? Oh, that's because Linux
lusers are cheap-asses.
As for attacking other OS's, Linux nutcases are far, far, far more guilty of
that than MS - with all its billions - could ever be. You spiteful jerkwads
can barely spit out a sentence without making a stupid anti-MS comment.

Don't bother. Vista and MS Office will have sold out right away. You might
find some Linux distros for $1.99 - they don't sell at any price.
