I've been running Microsoft products on hundreds of computers for 22 years. The combination of features, price, software and security is far better than anything else on the market.

Yeah - in Haiti.

"Yeah - in Haiti."

Wow, that was a snappy comeback.

If another software maker met the needs of consumers better than Microsoft, they would own the market. I used to use Visicalc, CP/M, Supercalc, Profile, Word Perfect, DbaseII, DbaseIII, DbaseIV, Clipper, Foxpro, Calcstar, Wordstar, DRDOS, QDOS, and lots of other programs and operating systems. I've tried Apple. I gave Linux a 2-year effort.

Microsoft is the best for me (and most others). It has the best mix of what I need for desktop computing and business software.

This irrational hatred of Microsoft reeks of Democrat-like hatred of big business. If you don't like Windows, there is nothing stopping you from providing a better operating system. There are lots and lots of good programmers out there and so far, they have failed to provide that product. When they do, I will buy it. Until that time, I will correctly note that Microsoft provides the best product mix for me (and most others).
