    If this guy was talking about the new macosx update he'd be trolled till he was stone, but i guess there aren't exactly as many windows lovers as there are apple fanboys. Its just interesting to see whats acceptable for against windows, then against apple.

    and to claim that a major OS that the majority of the world will end up using isn't "stuff that matters" is a joke.
