    And all the microsoft-crashes-your-car jokes start in 3...2...1...

    I'll throw in one: Does the blue screen block my view of the road for when the dice program crashes?

      Kind of strange how teh FOSSies keep making Windows crash jokes, while Windows Server 2003 keeps replacing teh Lunix in the data center.

      Someone must be doing something right... and I don't spewing anti-MS FUD is going to help anyone figure that out (nor is writing another text editor).

    Quick... someone write a FOSSie app for teh Lunix which displayes fuzzy dice.

    How dare MS do anything without the approval of teh FOSS users. As punishment, we must rip them off again.
