Anti MS "flames" are only to be expected though, don't you think? Most of us
are in disagreements with MS methods of doing business. Our only (legal)
recourse is sort of limited to not buying their products and speak
derogatorily about them to others. The world already tried commenting on
things that should not be, and they ignored that. Indeed they only made more
covert methods to accomplishing the same.

I don't think anyone says you should, well some are, but I certainly think
each man to his own needs. But we are not really discussing the O/S but the
actions of MS.

I was responding to YOU calling some of us trolls, whereas if anything
speaking pro MS on a Linux list is more likely to be trolling.
