Linux has been such a breath of fresh air when I found it in late 1998, that I've forgotten a monologue, about 4 or 5 minutes long I used in my early dealings with Nt-3.51 and its random deletions of important dll's that M$ used to make you buy a new license. Once, I might have been gullible enough to buy it, but at $600 for a new license twice in 2 years time on 2 different machines the same dll just vanished has to be malicious. But the crowning blow was when somebody in Redmond had the chutzpah to call me a pie-rat because I wanted a floppy fedexed to me with just that library on it. Screw em, and the camel that rode in on them...
