    And when MS falls, who do people turn to? Apple who demands we use their proprietry overpriced hardware and DRM their OS to deny anyone using it on anything else? Or Linux which most users are unable to use? Or do we just keep using buggy MS software whose holes aren't even getting a band-aid? Oh yes, I sure can't wait for the fall of MS.
