Don't bother arguing with these people. They really want to believe
only very incomplete version of the story as told by CNN and the news
networks, because it fits nicely into their anti-Windows religion.
They like to ignore things like official reports, retractions of
claims, and basic things like maritime engineering, the way captains
run their ships, and how engineering systems are developed in the
Navy.
Yeah, you'd better listen to Will. After all, he's the only
professional computer guy here, and he knows best. This became
obvious when he asserted that anything that isn't Windows is dead or
dying...that REALLY established credibility.
But if that didn't do it...dismissing anything he doesn't want to
hear as "religion", even when it isn't, certainly did.

Or at least argue this somewhere else.
