Actually, Microsoft provides you with their own lightbulbs now, ever since
they partnered with that one lightbulb company, reversed engineered their
design, came up with their own LightBulb 1.0 (that was buggy as hell and
less bright, but their marketing took care of those issues) and then drove
the small lightbulb company out of business.
Anyway, this argument might have had merit if it weren't for the *fact*
that MS strategically introduces bugs into their "OS" so that a
competitor's product will fail.
