After sifting through this thread, and the the one that followed (firefox, etc) it, I'm forced to ask the obvious: Why did you post this message in the first place? * You like Windows. * You rather no spend the time require to learn (?) Firefox (!!!) and/or OpenOffice. * You find it acceptable that MS will force upgrade you every year or two. Even if you don't, you are unwilling to do anything about it. * In short. You rather use Windows/Office/IE combo.
So again I ask. Why did you bother this list with this senseless argument?
