ROFL
Oh dear, the men of the century: Ghandi and Gates...
Sorry, I don't want to start an OS flame war in an overcrowded
newsgroup, but:

Yes, MS changed the world in that way:
Millions of people let their powerful 486/586 hardware crawl like an 
good(?) old XT, using fat, slow, dangerous (VFAT!) software.
And then they even call it the STANDARD! And the marketplace? All the
stupid lemmings should decide what's good and what's not? Boy, they don't
have a clue of what they're buying, they just follow the masses, as usual...

Sorry again for waisting resources. I always get angry about all that
useless blah in the newsgroups, but this really was too much.

Greetings
