    the thing with his little "MS did a great job... of naming it" line in his 'philosophical impressions' (fuck your philosophy, btw).

    The rest of the article is pretty much praising different features and whatnot that he liked.

    Sounds like someones pissed that another may succeed where they had failed.

    Yes, you are right, bad guys can make good things.

    But, what you also can do is look beyond their tempting offers and remember the atrocities that came before.

    It's like let's stop bashing Hitler, it's getting a bit tired (or maybe it's kind of cool in an odd sort of way, to say it's tired, even tho it isn't).

    No. Let's actually continue to bash him.

    And let us also bash Microsoft.

    Because it's the right thing to do.

    Screw microsoft. Remove your blinders, cattle, and take a look at microsoft the corporation. How can anyone seriously talk about the merits of this company and be fully aware of their tactics?
    Sometimes you microsoft thugs make me sick. Actually, you ALWAYS make me sick.
    Go ahead. Defend them. How can you candy coat the sickness that is microsoft?
    Or do you check your morals at the door when it comes to the latest and greatest gadgets?

    Err. Aren't Powerbook G4's $2299, and heavier, and running an OS that is non-mainstream, and that still does not run quite a few apps.

    Why would anyone in their right mind buy either machine when they could get a VAIO or a Dell laptop?
