That seems a little immature...
You know, for some "manly IT superman" who is supposed to be professional in his occupation, this retaliation only seems highly immature... I'd expect this kind of behavior from a high-school kid who has his first computer, not an IT Professional.

Just because someone chooses Microsoft (or any other rival for that matter) over another does not make them a "LUZER." Neither does it automatically make them delusional and wanting to stay in the "Microsoft Diaper."

I can only take offense at this, with you leveling down that all Microsoft users are stupid, "do not think ahead," and do not have any logic or common sense.

For all your belittling, you sure are sounding more like a bully on a school playground, instead of the professional, rational-thinking and responsible IT person.

And just FYI, when given the choice of using a Mac or a Windows XP Pro (SP2) system, I -chose- XP, simply because it works better for me. The same reason applies for why I use IE. It -works- for me. I have yet to be hit by any problems that I've read about in ZDNet's alerts, and it only takes a little common sense to circumvent most of it. The rest is covered by the various security programs and firewalls.

Does that make me an illogical, unthinking person who wishes to stay in the Microsoft Diaper? I should think not. But then, I fail to see the logic in attacking a person and belittling them like a elementary kid because they chose something different than you.
