The reason I call them sheep is the fact that these people get virus's and cracked into, then bitch to Microsoft and sundry for their stupidity.

You use Windows, all power to you, however, I don't want one word or complaint when you find a bug or vulnerability in your OS. You have made your choice, and now live with it.

Microsoft is where it is because people keep buying. An Apple is a perfect alternative. And no, they are not more expensive. They are the same price as a name brand computer like HP from Dick Smiths or Harvey Norman.
