All incendiary comentary aside. Have you ever used Linux or MacOS X?
I think you may be quite surprised how far beyond your perception they are.
hoojchoons:
Well, since you seem to be a moron enough to be coming back for more, there's a question for you: Have you ever tried out MacOSX or Linux, as psyjax pointed out? I don't think you ever did, although you're propably answer that you have just to get on our nerves! Something more. I'm not in any way suggesting that Windoze users are mentally inferior than Linux users for instance! But there's always the exception to the rule! And you seem to qualify :D

Microsoft was pressuring the DOD to use Windows, so the department of Defense did a lot of research on open-source *nix compared to closed source Windows... and well long story short, they are now using *nix (which is exactly what MacOSX is)

That only works with Win9x d00d. Obviously the other guy is using Windows XP(which is a variant of NT) so that will not cause his system to crash. ;P
