Interesting poll at
http://cnn.com/TECH/9801/23/microsoft.poll/index.html

Turns out the majority of consumers polled don't feel the need to be
"saved" from MS. I guess the "consumer advocates" will argue that
consumers are just too stupid to know what is good for them. Why else
would they need advocates, anyway?
