Like the top Linux distros. I think it's rather pathetic that despite an absolutely ridiculous budget for... well, just about anything, Microsoft still releases updates that cause widespread problems. I understand that the need more frequent updates means a greater challenge, but the budget and demand ratio of Microsoft's product updates make even the most successful Linux distros look like one of those genius little kids that hack in to multibillion dollar organizations. 1/928475983746 of the resources, 2837432798 X the output.

It's racist in both cases.

If you're a progressive, everything is racist. This is why sensible people have stopped caring about accusations of racism. The word has lost all meaning, due to overuse.

I don't appreciate that generalization. I am a progressive, and I just so happen to use common sense, thank you very much. Quite a good bit of the "race cases" are absolutely crybaby/over-exaggerated in my eyes. I do believe that I stand for most progressives, as I am progressive enough to quickly recognize a problem such as race-baiting and over-using the victim card.You would (apparently) be amazed at how many people have simply given up or given up certain efforts to fight racism due to the loud and proud "heritage" lovers being....loud. It's a lot. A lot more than those that ceasefire thanks to those that overuse the victim card. Talk to people and ask them questions about their subconscious behavior and beliefs that they haven't really given much thought about. Not the crap that they've been hearing/watching on the news. You can safely expect a very delayed answer and plenty of questions in return.
