It's rather obvious that - 1.) This person has never dealt with massive rollouts of Windows in a corporate environment 2.) This person has never had to install/setup/configure Windows on more than one machine at a time. 3.) This person cannot spell - hence he is most likely a Windows person that depends heavily upon the spell-check functions of MS Word - oh wait - sorry - if he was familiar with spell checking, then he would have used it in Frontpage Express in the first place - so obviously this person doesn't even know Windows all that much. 4.) This person is highly defensive of Windows - hence this person's limited knowledge of OS's et. al. is far below that of someone that has used more than two OS's - NOT stating versions of Windows as OS's. 5.) This person is highly defensive - hence he is protecting what little knowledge or opinion he has in the first place. 6.) This person doesn't know the history of computers and networking - that Microsoft came late in the game and the entire internet/networking scheme was well in place and solid prior to the first version of NT - and that *nix basically runs the internet and most major corporate networks as they stand. 7.) That NT technology was built initially to be a "clone" of *nix - in conjunction with OS/2 - so that there was a unified and easier means by which to network. 8.) This person doesn't get laid very much. > > The only reason why you knock windows is because it is the domoninat > > operating system and you just cant afford it.

After reading the last paragraph, I keep thinking that point number 8 applies heavily here.
