Well, there is a reason and that reason was based on network congestion
in a lan.
IBM gives it a useability factor of 95%, whereas ethernet gives you 29%
before things bog down. Get too many users pushing too much traffic and
ethernet collision rates start to climb which is why IBM made token
ring. The down side is that a good token ring set up requires two
cables or rings instead of one cable. More wiring makes it more
expensive. But with home networking ethernet moves along at a fast
rate.

I think the best remedy is small claims court.
1) It costs them more to defend than to pay you your refund.
2) it officially DOCUMENTS their lying...i.e. a paper trail
3) The paper trail from (2) gives prosecutors another suit. Heeee!

Lets just say, that if, on a scale of 0-100, Windows has a crash occurance
rating of 50, then Linux has a crash-occurance rating on the order of
10^(-n), where n is some positive number.

Just as you can infringe on a NON-software patent even if you have never
seen the patented mechanism or process.
Patents cover ALL uses of the methodology, regardless of development lineage.
In contrast, __COYPRIGHTS__ only apply to derived works, and thus,
independantly developed works are not sanctioned.
