And that makes it okay?
Now be fair dude! MS has been doing the FUD thing
for FAR longer than any Linux shill.

So a person who has been doing wrong for 10 years is worse than someone doing wrong for 5? They are both wrong. I cringe when I see MS FUD as much as I cringe when I see Linux FUD. It just so happens that on this site, the Linux FUD >>>>>>> MS FUD.

I see Microsoft as a company engage in FUD to the same extent that I see laundry detergent companies engage in FUD. When you see the comercial about how white Brand A gets shirts compared the filth that Brand B leaves behind, that is FUD. Microsoft is like ANY other company trying to get people to buy their goods through a combination of saying that MS stuff is better and the competition's stuff is worse.

So while you do have Mac/Apple
fanatics...their common tool is insane PRAISE of Apple/Mac
rather than FUD!

The hardware discussions are like this but when the discussion turns towards OSX, the FUD starts coming out. You don't need large market share to scare people into believing that their OS is dangerous.
