   Right, I agree with that. M$ is a corporation just like any other (out to   
   make a buck or billion). It's only fair that if you complain about   
   Microsloth that you complain about every other company like that. Not so   
   sure it's appropriate here but, nonetheless, we could all put out a   
   bazillion pros and cons about everything we love/hate out there so, isn't   
   it better to just try to make Linux in general a better tool and who   
   knows, maybe that giant (M$) will come crumbling down under it's own   
   weight!?!   
      
   Then again, Windoze does create a lot of jobs out there, what would the   
   economy look like without M$'s bloated, broken-down OS's? I for one make   
   my living off of Microcrap's legacy and although would like to see Linux   
   overtake and destroy M$ and it's minions. It's a double edged sword we're   
   playing with here.   
      
   I'm a noob for sure and nowhere near "Green" but, that's my   
   two-cents!
