Reasons to hate linux and love microsoft...

I'm all for opposite threads

Besides, anyone can come up with ideas why Linux PWNS Windows, but lets be clever.
Why is MS better than Tux?

Every barin-dead monkey and his second-cousin's half-brother knows how to use it

Fixing it over and over keeps people like me in buisness

Internet Explorer has made unscrupulous people rich

All the errors have been the fodder of many-a-joke for a decade

On a side note, just for the "lol" factor, I'm going to attempt to install Windows XP on my old Pentium 1 166 box sometime soon!

Games, games and more games!

And MS products are the only place to get the KOTOR series.[/adicted]

Other than that it's the only operating system I have access to since my parent's would probably be none to happy if they discovered all the computers OS's switched one morning

Yes, XP on my 8088

with a 16-color EGA card.

NOT!

I'll admit it, it's a pretty bad fake..

Heh, heh. I was gonna try something like that with my grandpa's computer. It was about 10 years old, could barely run 95. I think it had something like 128 k of RAM. I got stuck at the install though, for some reason I couldn't even get the Win 98 install commands to work. I lost interest very fast.

For me it's all about the FPS games. PC/Win XP has the best selection, controlls, cutting edge graphics, open gameplay, than any other console/computer. I couldn't live without my Call of Duty and MOHAA games, so switching is not possible!
