tcak writes "From the CNET article: "You could meet the chairman of Microsoft, but you'll have to profess a passion for Windows first. Microsoft is looking for true stories about people using Windows computers to pursue a passion or hobby. The company plans to use them in a marketing blitz tied to the 20th anniversary of Windows' debut. ""

    A lot of people seem to be passionate about Macs, Linux and some Unix variants. But I've never known anyone who is really passionate about windows, some people prefer it to other operating systems but nobody really seems to love it. I could understand apple doing this, but I think Microsoft might have difficulty finding people who really love windows.

      Unix/Linux Zealots push technical superiority.

      Mac Xealots push design superiority.

      Windows Zelots push the fact that they put in a lot of time and effort into it, and they just can't turn back now.

    ...this would be it.

    Seriously, what is the point of posting this to Slashdot? No, REALLY? Is this some kind of group anger management therapy?
