There is an amazing number of moronic comments there. Each fanboy trying to
find an excuse why his favorite os lost or discount why Linux won. I don't
understand why people can't just say "yeah, windows isn't that great but I
like it anyway" or similar. They have to try and somehow prove it's better.
People need to get a life and just accept that Linux is better :) - that
doesn't mean they have to like or use it.
