Take a pill, will ya?

For one thing decades would mean more than one and, perhaps a half, given that Windows didn't arrive till the early 90s.

For another things monopoly does not equal capitalism. If anything it's analog is mercantilism which is what Microsoft seems to practise a lot of.

By all means let the people speak without Microsoft pawning off copies of Windows on OEMs at at tiny fraction of the price that they expect the rest of us to pay. That isn't government that Microsoft distorting the market. I know you think that's some kinds of competitive market advantage but the rest of us would think of that as lock-in at the expense of choice for us.

And please tell me where the US or any other government has funded open source be it Linux or the BSDs. Time, place and government if you don't mind. Otherwise that is just more of your well known astroturfing hot air.

Samba, a command line program is duplicating any kind of look and feel? Since when?

Actually the less said about Mono the better. Gimmme PHP any day of the week over C# and the other .NET rotten idiot bastard son of Java.

I'd really, really like to know what Linux distro would want to duplicate the interface on Vista. Not SuSE, not Fedora, not Ubuntu, not Mandriva, not PCLinuxOS...I could go on.

And yes, I will tell you that Linux server systems are better and faster not to mention more secure than any Microsoft back office solution. Flat out. There. You won't believe me cause you're drowning in the Microsoft kool-aid.

About innovation just what is innovative about Vista anyway? Hackneyed 3D interface swiped directly from Apple? UAC? Crashitis? Please, tell me where it all is, I'm really curious to find some and I do use it far more that I wish I had to.

The public smells something rotten with so man people being so down on the competition, in a religious zealot kind of way.

Not that you're in any way a religious zealot yourself, of course. You may talk like one, walk like one, quack like one but oh no! not you!

Ignorant to be sure. But in no way a zealot.

Now, I need to go slap myself for troll feeding.
