with what right do you think you're allowed to bash his system (linux) and
on the other hand want to disallow him to bash yours (win32)?

with what right do you insult "the linux community" ("people with 5 inc thick
glasses etcpp) who you don't pay but expect them to wipe of your ass?

with what right do you argue about how I want to use my 1gb ram and 1.3ghz
cpu?

with what right do you think that the ia32-architecture is the only one around?



and how do you come to the idea that linux is the only command line oriented
OS around?
