Surely you must see the contradiction is having such an extreme position
on Microsoft and using an OS that was originally written by the same company.
I'm sure it has evolved quite a bit since MS gave up control of it to IBM in
1990, but if you take out the OS/2 box that you were using in 1992 I'll bet
you can still smell Bill's greasy fingers on it.
No, to be really clean, you should be using a different OS. Yes, something
more unix. Ignore these johnnies come lately, go to the true innovator, the
first unix on a PC: run Xenix. Damn. Microsoft did that one too.
Here's a link with a pretty extensive timeline of MS OS developments:
