M$

When will you folks learn that using M$ only shows your socialist bias? It's just like when a liberal calls President Bush a shrub. I believe in free trade and capitalism, what say you? Why don't you have a cute little phrase for Apple? They are far more proprietary and over-priced than Microsoft.

I make a living with *nix, but prefer Windows for my home computer because we use our home computer for more than surfing the web and writing letters.

lol....I've always assumed that anyone who writes "M$" or "Micro$oft" doesn't really know what they're talking about when it comes to computers. I've never been proved wrong, either.

Oh grow up. This has nothing to do with socialism.

I do believe in capitalism, but MS is offering a product in a somewhat monopolistic mode that I don't feel good about, so I am doing the capitalistic thing by looking for usable alternatives. I'm not above paying for it, either, like I seldom use the free versions of software because I believe the author deserves the pay for the product.

I'm going to vote with my feet and my pocketbook. Not necessarily or particularly to Apple, either.
