Oh yeah, I know I can't have quake, quake2, doom, and those other
games that have been ported to linux cause they take up all sorts
of space :)

Honestly, it's like building a car that only has one wheel.  You then
introduce a second wheel and proclaim it as the greatest thing since
sliced bread.

Why does most pre-MS people bring up the money?  I don't go around
griping about Perot, Turner, Trump, or the Sultan.

Personally, I don't gripe about Gates, I gripe about MS and
the companies they own.  How do you feel about possibly getting
sued by a MS subsidiary cause you scanned a picture of some
artwork you saw at a museum?

How do you feel about an image of your hard drive being
stored in secret files?  (as well as a list of every website
you've ever visited with internet explorer)

Most companies survive by giving the consumer what they want.
MS survives by making consumers take their stuff.  There is a
reason you can't buy a PC from a major company without any MS
products (exclusionary contracts)

I could give a point by point list of why I don't like win95,
but repeating it to deaf ears is getting old hat.
