I just find it so funny that people take there computers as serious as some people do and willing to
fight over it.

I think all operation systems are crap in one way or another... and for linux even being free and
not may people wanting it, well, I think that speaks for itself.

anyways, I only started this thread just to get a rise out of these guys... yesterday I could stop
laughing seeing how many arguments there were and the extent that they go with the name calling and
