i really have to agree with you on this one. People would comment on this forever if/. didn't archive the article. Most of the posts would follow that same old formula: "Mine is better than yours!"
What it really comes down to is personal preference, and what you want your OS to do. As others have said, if you want to play games, Windows is the OS for you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Personally, i prefer Linux. i don't need every geek to agree with me. i still like it. It does what i want it to do, and it looks the way i want it to look. If you prefer Windows, Linux, or even that old Apple II you have lying around, more power to you.
If you start talking about business practices and the companies that produce the software, well, that's another story. But leave people to their preferences.
After reading the patent, I was reminded somewhat of a humor article I read in which Microsoft gained a patent for the semicolon. They were then able to charge programmers a per-usage fee......
