There isn't any.

I used to be a big Linux supporter. I spend most of my time developing in Unix.

But after 12 years using Linux, I just can't stand any more the troll attitude that so many Linux users tend to have nowadays.

Maybe I'm becoming old, but I still remember a time where the only OS you could get with a computer was the one the manufacturer so decided. And sometime, it was even written in ROM.

People that cry for support for every possible OS in a x86 system, just don't have any idea about how complex is to support multiple software.

Yes, choice is good. But companies also have a choice. The choice to support whatever software they think is appropriate for their business.

"People that cry for support for every possible OS in a x86 system, just don't have any idea about how complex is to support multiple software."

I said there should be Linux and no OS options, not "every possible OS in a x86 system".

"Yes, choice is good. But companies also have a choice. The choice to support whatever software they think is appropriate for their business."

Are they choosing what is appropriate for their business, or are they choosing what is appropriate for Microsoft's business? They need to at least offer a no OS option.
