Oh don't we all love M$, funny i have not heard anything about ftp or web
sites being shut down... seems like there is a fix now, so what is the big
deal? Oh yes the big deal is that M$ has alot of nerve to try and bash
(forgive the pun) Linux. Why do they have alot of nerve? well they are
willing to make me pay $180 for an operating system that is about as useful
as a screen door on a submarine. Perhaps they are jealus, after all Linux
does have one thing that microsoft can only dream about., a solid Operating
System.
