That's been my point for most of this problem. Read up on it. What I was
attacking here was the fact that some people thought this was a Linux /
MacOS problem only, when it was also a Windoze problem, also.

My point exactly, as stated above.

Whatever works for you. I used to work at a Mac only store, and happened
to have directed a few people to the land of the 'doze strictly because
what they wanted and what they had was better suited to the environment.
(This was before Linux became what it is now and was basically only
suited for x86 machines.)

Ever notice how this guy came on to the attack instantly and without
provocation? You are a hell of a lot more religious for Windoze than any
Linux / Mac user I know. Besides, your response was an attempt to be
derogatory towards us:

Hence the "Get Over It" response.
