I'm sick and tired of reading Windows/Microsoft satire in a Linux Forum.
It isn't satire anymore. It is old, same old stories rehashed for newer
stuff and is just getting tiring to read it time and time again when
some one "discovers it" again. It is like those chain e-mails that
resurface every 18 months, old. Windows is established that it is a POS
being forced down throats of unsuspecting users that don't know it is
Dog Scat and love it without understanding there are other better
options. Furthermore, if you choose to use Windows and complain about
it, go complain in a Windows forum and see how far it gets you. It is
the same old same old pundits everywhere (yes, I'm a Linux pundit). I
work in Linux all day, everyday, don't care to deal with or read about
Windows, except as to interoperability, period. I've already done 4.5M
work/reach arounds for Windows... I don't care to read anymore about it.

That is my story, I'm sticking to it, as I have for many years.

GET OFF MY LAWN! (Being a Grumpy old codger and YES my lawn)
