Guys like you give Linux a bad name
My disclaimer first: I am a MacLinux user and still own one Wintel laptop.

YOU SAID: "Then again, Microsoft customers deserve the Viruses, malware and disasters they get:"

"The smart ones use Linux."

It is comments like that, that make me wonder just how close you have come to using Linux. The word "poser" comes to mind. I will give you the benefit of doubt that you might use Linux only because I am in a cranky mood right now and the pain drugs ain't working.

No one "DESERVES" bad things happening to them simply because they use a product. I sure as hell hope you don't get hurt in an auto accident simply because you drive a car. In case you do let me be the first to say you that you deserve it. You car drivers deserve it, get off the road and let us truck drivers rule the road. Trucks are inherently safer and in a crash involving trucks and cars the trucks win. You deserve it. I can cite story after story to prove my point about trucks being safer too.

Microsoft has their problems but you ain't helping the pro-Linux argument with that attitutde.
