Whoa! What happened? First there was your ludicrous claim about
users not being able to improve upon and add features to Windows
themselves, and then, out of the blue, you post a horrendously
disjointed rant about Bill Gates, GWB, Republicans, the Xbox, DTV,
cheating, IBM, the NSA... I mean, Holy Crap! It is as though your
mind got ill with all it had swallowed and finally dropped its guts. Feel
better now?
Tony.
