Hmmm.  While I don't agree with the opinion, there certainly _are_ those who 
claim that homosexuality is chosen ... and I think that's not necessarily 
unlike one's OS alignment.  There are all sorts of reasons why people would 
use Linux, but I certainly don't feel that my "choice" is optional.  Using 
Windows is as repulsive to me as the thought of sex with those of the wrong 
gender...
