  I had to laugh at the first paragraph:

"IT IS hard to love something made of grey plastic. Especially hard
when it has a habit of crashing, deleting your work and spreading
viruses."

  It sounds like Microsoft has the whole world convinced that all
computers behave like PeeCees running Windows. I find this
infuriating.
