Hmm.... what part of my "diatribe" was cheering for Microsoft? Also, how is MS any more "greedy" than Apple? Are both companies not in business for PROFIT? Jeesh...
You can bash Microsoft all you want - I don't care.... If you don't like MS you can switch to Linux... but you need to understand that if it wasn't for Microsoft, the PC would not be where it's at today and that's a fact... Like them or not, their marketing muscle has pushed PC's into being a mainstream product that's more affordable than ever..
