A lot of you people need to give MS a break. Microsoft is a business and the sole objective of a business is to make money. How do you make money? By selling your product to as many people as you can at the right price (where marginal revenue equals marginal cost). Let's think about this a second. What percentage of the world's computer user's could ever possibly even install Linux, nontheless get it working efficiently? It takes someone with a LOT of time on their hands to do it. Not all of the world has that kind of time available (they actually HAVE a life). Back to where i was, Microsoft makes products for the general public so they can maximize profit. Windows/NT works fine for the general public. Why change it? So what if its big and bloated, crashes occasionally...blah blah blah. I'd rather get my work done quickly and easily on my MS products and the multitude of wonderful programs which run under them, and go out and have some fun, than waste my time trying to get Linux to work correctly.
Bill Gates is a genius. He's the richest man in the world, you're not.
