So you like MS - so use it - I really don't give a rat's ass. There are
some legitimate reasons for using MS. For me it no longer makes any sense.
Linux is much more robust, secure, and it does not cost me $600 every time
I get a new computer ($100 for MS WinXX $300 for MS OfficeXX, etc.). I
find that Linux does what I need. Anyway, Linux is about CHOICE - so if
yours is MS, hey, go for it. Just remember that without Linux you would
not have a choice.

===> Yes, you do, as evidenced by that sentence.
Ironic? No, don't think so!

it, maybe. It's possible, not guaranteed by a long
shot.

Linux can be pretty wide open if one isn't careful.

and it does not cost me $600 every time

===> Me neither. Nor anyone else I know. Last one I
bought in fact, I didn't buy any apps or os with it;
don't need to if you already have them. But if you're
just getting started or a literal "user", then that can
have very great advantages. You're just being
egocentric and arrogant.

===> Good for you. I do, too. MS also does what I
need. I have both; give you two guesses which one is
the MOST convenient? First guess doesn't count.

Anyway, Linux is about CHOICE - so if

===> And that's your version of choice, eh? Everyone
must bow down to Linux for MS?
You're quite an oxymoron, know that? Trollish even,
so don't look for ME to respond to you again.

You PAY for MS apps?? F*ck, just steal them like I do. It's much cheaper,
easier and Bill can afford it.

It's also illegal and, IMHO, immoral.
