"I've tried to stay out of the Microsoft debate. If you start doing things because you hate others and want to screw them over the end result is bad," he said.

That's what I call a class guy. Some of the anti-MS crowd could take a lesson.

Some of the pro-MS crowd could take that same lesson. Let's face it, when it comes to obnoxious name-calling, bush2000 is in a lack-of-class by himself. Even when he's right, you end up not wanting to agree with him because of his "Apple users are homosexuals" and "linux users are all communists" postings.

Like what? You mean actually not publicly complaining that MS doesn't live up to its rhetoric? Or perhaps not talking angrily about the hours upon hours of precious free time wasted fixing MS products every time they break rather than actually enjoying their time off from work playing on the computer.

Frankly, I spent 10 years of my life in Sales. When you sell people a turd and know it, they don't come back to buy from you again. To some narrow minded software whores, it somehow becomes a religious act to actually speak the truth with regards to Microsoft products. We're supposed to just line up like good little THX's and not rock the boat. Sorry, I'd just as soon spend my time making truthful statements and portraying my anger right along with the rest of the growing numbers of people who are sick of giving MS $200 dollars for their latest attempt at pretending they fixed something.

I'll link the L0pht presentation from Beyond Hope again for those who haven't heard it. It's from 2600 and posted at hope.net and well worth the listen. If you think you know how MS reacts to being told about problems with their product, this will either confirm it or break the rose colored glasses. At any rate, have fun. I'm done with MS. They will never get another dollar of my money. And that's not a small amount from a guy who has had legit ms licenses on all 8 of his old network machines for all their software. Still do even though I'm only running 4 now. And for some reason their irrelevant now - Redhat doesn't require ms licensing LOL.
