Yes, but admit it: The EvilEmpire at least gives you something to 
carp about. And (as much as I hate to say it), MS occaisionally gets 
something almost right - when you're that big, you have to (even if 
accidentally) get things right once and a while. 

If you've ever tried to install OS/2 or any brand of UNIX, you'll 
appreciate the brain dead install on many of the MS products....

And I always thought a Mac was a great machine if you needed to fetch 
email or do word processing. If you want to crunch numbers or do 
advanced graphics, get an SGI box. If you want a good (undocumented 
mind you) kernel, get OS/2. If you want something everyone everywhere 
uses for almost everything and for which almost all apps are written, 
get an MS product..... ubiquity is both a blessing and a curse. Least 
Common Denominator may be not so wonderful, but it sure beats "We 
don't support that..... (a la OS/2)...."
