Hundreds of debates, countless flames, innumerable passionate supporters, no limits, no ending lines, no result. The conflicts keep on going and going and going. It doesn't matter if it's Cisco's IOS, Microsoft's Windows, Suse's Linux or FreeBSD. People struggle to prove their
platform's superiority ignoring that an Operating System is just a tool focusing on specific needs.

Like in online quake, the &*()*&^%%$Q#! that quad-rail-spawn camps with the 20 ping. And then says "0wn3d" at the end of the level. What a POS. Some of those tactics could be cut out and dude could still win. It just shows that skill did not win the match, like quality, stability, and interoperability have not won it for microshaft.
Remembering the '80's, the golden age of computing, one could buy probably a dozen different types of systems. One could likewise go and buy one of a handfull of major applications, and get a version of that software for any of several major platforms. That means, ideally, that Company A (PC users) could send Company B [Amiga users, maybe:) ] a document(though the BBS no less, heh) and have it look identical on each co's comps, sorta like Adobe Acrobat does nowdays.
Furthermore, Kaos' comments are dead on. Buy products from Bill, support evil. No doubt about it.
