That tears it;

The next time I hear one of you Linux-heads downtalking Windows I'm going to consider the bashing for what it truly is; a form of terrorism! :smile:
 
That's not a really from Microsoft is it? Edit: I just thought about it - dumb question

I wouldn't be surprised if it was true, since Microsoft is a large US company. :rolleyes:

They support Microsoft, they are somewhat supporting America.

I wonder what version of Linux they use? :shy:
