I agree too.  I am getting more anti-micro$haft because of the lousy OS they
write that I am moving to Linux.  When I can do all the things in Linux that
I do in Windoze, we will not run Windows.  I would like to play with a Mac,
but the nearest place to try one is at least 150 miles away.  But I own 2
older ones and I like playing with them.  Yes, I would miss building my own
system, but not a problem.  I would rather it run for years without a 6
month reload schedule.
