After "Mothman" and the 2005 "battery cell MSSQL" web ads
I find it increasingly hard to take Microsoft ads seriously.
I wish I could say the same for Microsoft; $60B/year
revenue is kinda hard to ignore (and *very* hard to relate
to; were I to spend $1000/second, it would take me almost
2 years to get to $60B). But we'll see; the collapse will
probably be slow but massive, and I hope the Seattelites
can compensate somehow.

Linux. The choice of a GNU generation.
Windows. The choice of a bunch of people who like very weird behavior on
a regular basis, random crashes, and "extend, embrace, and extinguish".
