nice as it is for instance (as well as MacOS X, FreeBSD, Solaris x86, Os/2 (long live this one, it was awesome imo) etc.), still has a LONG ways to go before it approaches acceptance like Windows has enjoyed, as well as the amount of tools & apps around them that Windows has! Development tools are another one, there is really NOTHING out there imo as nice as tools like Ms' Visual Studio (or heck, the programmability of their Office apps like Word, Excel, & Access for example), or tools from companies like Borland in Delphi &/or C++ Builder (which are cross-platform to Linux no less from the same codebase & simple to port to KDE + Qt libs it uses)...
I think your referring really to the open-source movement, rather than "Anti-microsoft" campaigning. What idiots like you dont understand is that the software you _PAY_ for, has equivelents that are just as good, or better, for free. Have you ever browsed berlios.de or sourceforge.net? There are thousands of pieces of software that better that provided by proprietry software.
Programability of Word/Excel? LMFAO! WTF is wrong with you? Your forced to code in VBA - a disgusting language, stemmed from (yet another) Mircosofts rip-off of BASIC. Development tools like MS Visual studio? pahahahaehaeh!!!! Have you used Eclipse (eclipse.org), netbeans or any other OS, free, equivalents? Can we get off this "Microsoft make great software; hell, their innovators". They aren't. They rip-off genuine ideas from other people, they rehash it and sell it (bug ridden and insecure might I add) at a extortionate price - and to top it all off, nobheads like yourself go buy it _AND THEN_ go ranting that its worth something!!! Bah!!!
