   Play games, mess around with your BBS software on OS/2 for hours on end, same   
   difference. We all waste countless hours doing what others would consider   
   pointless shit. *shrug*

   To be fair, I didn't talk shit about Windows, as I still use it also. I just   
   said that if they do something stupid like some kind of 365 crap, more people   
   will leave the Windows fandom.   
      
   Now, in defense to your statement:   
      
   First, to do the exact same thing you mention above is actually "cp *" in   
   Linux, so it looks like you didn't do your studying on what commands are   
   longer than others, before spouting off at the mouf. :D   
      
   Second, only one of the two you mention above is still currently supported.   
      
   Third, every few years you have to upgrade operating systems (not too far,   
   though.. because any further into the new millenium and your old software   
   won't work properly unless you update it) to stick with a 32bit version that   
   still supports your hobbies. Then with the discontinuation of 32bit Windows,   
   the future is looking pretty grim, especially for any newcomers that want to   
   do all of this on their modern OSes.   
      
   Last, door games run great on 64bit Linux. You can definitely keep on hatin'   
   on it, though! :D   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
