Just continue to be rude, it's no harm to me.

The _only_ difference is that Windows users generally don't even bother to
ensure that their hardware is properly supported.  This has been known to
cause the same problems Linux users have.  Smart [Windows/Linux] users
check that the hardware they want to purchase is supported first.  Dumb
[Linux/Windows] users don't.  No difference.

Why on Earth do you come to these newsgroups if you are only interested in
Linux bashing?  You're not an ordinary sort of troll, or I'd just be
ignoring you.
