Cry me a river.  Bias is one thing that has gone in M$'s favor for years 
now.  You can't tell me that companies like Dell and Gateway are not bias 
toward Micro$oft.  I guess bias is okay as long as it is in your favor. 
 
And innovation?  Whatever.  Everything I have read lately about what the 
next windows will have on it I look at it and say... I've been using that 
option for years.  Apparently, the next windows will have multiple 
desktops (NO WAY!) and a few other things that Linux ALREADY has.  
Innovation?  More like catching up. 
 
"Windows is a 32-bit shell for a 16-bit extension to an 8-bit operating 
system designed for a 4-bit microprocessor by a 2-bit company that can't 
stand one bit of competition."
