Don't get angry at that moron, Linux will have the last laugh.  In 3-4 years Microsoft will lose almost all of their desktop market share.  With IE or without.

Brad:
Let me write this a second time (fugging browser crashed when I went to copy my reply to the store). Weather or not Linux is ready for desktop use (expecially for your average user) is a valid debate, IMO, but as for servers, using Windows is plain stupid, and nothing less. It will set you back hundreds, if not thousands of dollars (per computer), and will lead to countless security holes. Many Linux distros are also very easy to install, and Mandrake Linux installed all server applications perfectly, without the need for me to set up any config files, besides making a few preference changes.

Of course it's not the best distro for servers, but it's still many times better than Windows, with a lot less security holes and bugs, and can be installed without a usless GUI. This pretty much addresses the stupid comment about spending 6 hours working on sendmail, but six hours is still a lot better than the MONTHS that it takes for Microsoft to release security, and bug patches (if ever). As for the source based distros, while harder to install, and take longer, end up having much better preformance, which will save you money, rather than cost you, like with Windows.

The real problem is not that Microsoft bundles a web browser with their OS as the goon wrongly assumes, but that they leverage their monopoly to effectively eleminate all competition.  If Apple controlled 95% of the desktop market and had been known to use illegal tactics to get rid of other browsers, we'd be seeing this kind of stuff leveled at them.  They also used for *forbid* OEMS from including their own web browsers, etc. with the operating system.

This has to be my favorite:

Ha moron Linux comes with about 3-6 different web browsers, so I think it can render HTML just fine! (unless of course the site is designed with html-breaking frontpage crippleware)

WHAT A DOUCHE
