Simply fantastic
>>Nobody is forcing any of the users to buy Microsoft software and there are MORE than enough Operating systems out there to choose from.<<

Fables like this would be interesting reading only if they were different from the world we live in where virtually every computer offered on the market comes with M$ crap on it. Try writing something where there is a modicum of something out of the range of everyday experience. You know, like a[nother] story where the South won the Civil War or the Nazis or the Japanese won WW II. This is as unoriginal as saying "Imagine what might happen if we had a President with a sub 100 IQ."

Let's see, automotive analogies are big. How about "No one is forcing the public to buy internal combustion powered vehicles. There are steam, electric, and human powered vehicles. All this nonsense about being held hostage to gas guzzling environment destroying vehicles is just nonsense!"

Wake up Zero! You are just another copper top in the Matrix.
