I agreed. But just the same, my saying "it sucks" isn't bigotry

like it...I don't like it because it sucks. You're assuming the
causality relationship is the opposite of what it really is, which, I'm
sorry to say, is extremely common amongst the "Microsoft can do no
wrong" crowd.
Not so much,
actually. I'm usually the one who pops up complaining
about Windows, and you're usually the one who pops up contradicting it.
No, you're the one constantly complaining about Windows and I'm just
the one asking you to give it a rest.
Me saying I've never had problems with Windows is not the same thing
as being bigoted about it. I actually don't care what OS people use and if
people ask me for a
recommendation, I tell them to try different ones and use what works
best for them.
You constantly whinge on about Windows, even when its not relevant and
even when we've heard you whinge on about it a billion times already.
I'll admit that I started it this time, but I usually don't. I chime
in with commiseration when someone poo-poos it, and then you pounce on
me with Microsoft fanboy-ism. THAT crap really gets old. As I told a
friend in private email not five minutes ago, I have a *great deal* of
respect for you in the areas in which you know what you're talking about
(graphics) but not so much for the areas you don't (modern operating
systems). Fortunately, the latter isn't really the topic here.
You're a broken record.
Pot, kettle. ;)
At any rate, it was not my intention to drag this even further
off-topic (honestly) and I certainly didn't mean to "get into it" with
you once again. For that I apologize. We're not going to convince each
other.
