If it did, then it wouldn't have published that drivel. It was an
example, pure and simple, of incompetent journalism. If they don't
know enough about computers to understand that not all computers and
operating systems crash frequently, and are otherwise as unreliable as
Microsoft rubbish, then they have no business printing computer
related articles.

anyone as thick-skulled as you is most likely impervious to insults;

like you appear to enjoy giving.
