Why are you being so harsh on them? What have they ever done to you?

After their own anti-trust trial, they pulled back. When they found out
that people were more interested in MSs "pretty" interface (without much
structure behind it), and the fact that they could make money hand over
fist with only half the work - they made the obvious choice. Why try to
change market perception, when you can ride the wave?

You're an uninformed pest.

I hope you're taken to court for libel.

You know even less about Linux than you do about OS/2. Linux can NOT be
"killed" by any corporation. Not even IBM and Microsoft combined. You
can't kill a product that's source code is available on millions of
sites worldwide.

Take your FUD elsewhere. I don't want the likes of you in an echo for
support of one of my chosen OSs.
