Well, aside from the part where you likened Windows (and their users) to
a ghetto (though you did follow that with an emoticon... I guess that
negates it?), you did totally manage to avoid saying a single negative
thing. "A" for effort? :)

And anyway, Dave, if your justification is that
it was the clear
market leader, then by that argument, we should all be using x86 PCs -
as they are 95% or more of the general-purpose computer market and
have been for 20 years now - and on them we should be running MS
Windows, because that's the utterly dominant market leading OS.
You keep saying that. More Microsoft-funded "market statistics"?
As perhaps we've argued about before, I run into Windows machines very
rarely. They're not used much in my lines of work...and I have
several lines of work, and some of them are not at all esoteric. From
my perspective, Windows machines are pretty rare where real work is
involved. That is my perspective. Yours may differ, and if it does,
then I respectfully suggest that you hang out in less-seedy
neighborhoods for your own safety. ;)
Note well that I didn't say a single negative thing about Windows
above, so, WinTribesman, put away your spears.
