so if i include an arsenic pill in your muffin you'd eat the arsenic pill to just because you paid for it? "why the god damned hard line stance, aaron? why do you have to be such a hardass?" because when people cling to windows, then when they come across something that doesn't quite work because it's non-portable and non-windows-unfriendly they just flip over to windows instead of looking for alternatives or passing the complaint on to the people responsible for the lack of non-windows support. the additional personal inconvenience becomes a crutch which helps prevent people from supporting their os of choice because they never hear about it and their target market isn't affected enough. i completely understand that this sort of short-term-gain-in-spite-of-long-term-pain-and-not-truly-being-in-my-best-interest is something we've made a cornerstone "feature" of our culture of consumerism and sociopolitical apathy, but that doesn't mean i like it or respect the practitioners of it. -- Aaron J.
