Enough with the MS bashing, please

Is it truly necessary to fill the list with stuff like "Microsoft is awful",
etc etc etc.? I don't see how that is particularly related to classic
computers... Like the "Nuke Redmond" thread, which filled my mailbox with
probably 100+ messages which I had no desire at all to even look at. It is
really annoying to check your mail, have about 70-100 messages, and have
about 80 or so be pure garbage like that. Besides, not everyone dislikes
Microsoft's products. I for one, like their products a lot, I'm using Win
98SE right now, and our NT server has been running continuously for about 4
years now, no crashes at all. And I do have experience with other OS's, I
also run BeOS on my machine, I also run Solaris, Netware, VMS, RT-11, OS-32,
Infoshare, CP/M, MacOS, UnixWare, and HP-UX. I'd say VMS is my favorite,
BeOS is up there, same with UnixWare + Win 98, with Linux, Netware, and
MacOS being my all-time least favorites. I wouldn't even consider running a
Linux machine unless there was money in it for me ;p Anyway, I've now added
some of what I hate, going against the entire message I was saying, but
anyway, how about having the list a bit more on topic?
