That's not my point.  My point is that instead of fixing what needs to be
fixed and making Windows more stable, Microsoft is busy working on things
that really don't matter in the long run.

As much as I love Linux, it will never become popular because, quite
frankly, a majority of the computer users these days are not smart enough
nor do they want to know how to do anything themselves on their computer
under the hood.

That's why there's a captive audience for Microsoft products even as badly
written as they are.

In the same breath, however, I made a career out of wiping Windows' ass so I
can't complain. 

About the only reason I'd want a Windows box these days is for gaming but
even that is becoming narrowed thanks to things like Steam though there is
still a very wide gap in that respect.
