Right, I'm getting pretty much fed up with all this stuff about how crap
Microsoft is, and how good the alternatives are, and all that shit. It
seems that in the eyes of several people here, you can only be a real
computer user if you don't touch anything brought out by Microsoft with a
three-meter pole, but instead go worship Linux.

I use Windows 95, and before that MS DOS 6 + Windows 3.11. I'm sure it
can be improved or saps my machine's performance, or whatever, but point
in fact is that I'm happy using it, because IT DOES WHAT I WANT IT TO. And
that's ALL that matters in an OS, if you ask me. You may not agree with MS's
marketing strategy, the size their products take up on my HD, Bill Gates'
face, or whatever, but there's no need to try and convince everyone about
how and why you're right and they're wrong. I'm not trying to put down the
choices you made, so don't do the same with me.

Thank you for your cooperation.
