    First the Windows anti-spyware outperforms ad-aware and spybot s&d now you're saying this thing looks like a stable OS?

    Who are you and what have you done with Slashdot?

    I, for one, will NOT welcome our new MS-loving overlords.

    Every version of Windows looks stable. Just wait until you get that first STOP error.

    ...spelling "Windows" as "Windose" does not make you more credible in a Linux crowd.

    Of course it doesn't.
    You need to spell it Windoze.
    The 'z' makes you really credible.

    "actually looks like a stable OS."

    So, what OS does it look like now?

    maybe a firefox extention to change windose, winblows and windoze to Microsoft Windows(TM).

    You may be on to something... like adblock in cleaning up the web, but for text. M$ becomes MS, etc etc. While we're at it, we can just de-1337 (get it?) the whole web and improve the intelligence overall.

    Of course, for the people who actually find that kind of thing funny, there awaits much amusement as well in reverse. There's a lot of talk for filters like this (intended for profanity, go figure...) but little has actually been done. Perhaps with a 3rd party filter app (Proxomitron?) though.
