  1. I feel guilty when I use Microsoft OS on Confessions of a Mac OS X User · · Score: 1

    I don't feel guilty for using Panther or Solaris or HPUX or LINUX or BSD, but I do feel guilty when I use MS Windows Operating systems. When I use MS OS I feel like I am contributing to the ultimate pirate enterprise. I feel like I am supporting a "predatory monopoly." I also see the MS Enterprise as a massive modern day pirate ship, swash buckling their way through legitimate enterprises, with weapons they stole from others, to loot what they could not possible legitimately earn.
