> ...Ask dayglored or ThunderSleeps, the keepers of the pertinent Ping lists...

Well, now... Since dayglored doesn't expect that that offer to ask will be accepted, he merely stands back at a safe distance, watching in awe as this thread, comprised largely of this particular flamewar, soars above the 125-comment mark.

If only the threads I post about Windows could draw this much, ummm, enthusiasm for spirited argument! But alas, no, they wind down after a dozen or so such exchanges and go back to discussing BSODs and printer drivers. *sigh* I guess Windows folks, pro- and con-, just don't have this much stamina.

Or something,... whatever it is you guys are displaying... :-)

As for me, I gotta get up early in the morning tomorrow. G'night, all.

Well, we evil Apple fanboys could arrange to send some of our minions over to start slinging mud all over the place and insulting Windows users, but Alas, I know of no one who has the interest and frankly, dayglored, I've looked under the furniture, in the closets, out in the garage among all the ghosts of computers past, and not one single minion do I find, and, sad to say, not even any married minions. So, unless you have any ideas where I could look to find minions, I'm afraid you are thit out of luck for any flame wars from our camp.

You know we are more likely to express sadness and pity on anyone still stuck in Windows hell, rather than compound their travails by punishing them further.

Probably because we “Windows/Android guys” have heard it all before hundreds of times. We don’t get so defensive, probably because the vast majority of the world agrees with us.

I guess it’s true - when you are a small minority (like OSX or iOS fans), you do get really defensive!
