maybe Windows guys should. "look at all this cool stuff Windows can do, that the stuff i was mocking could do 20 years ago".

The way Windows people talk about all the "revolutionary" stuff Windows can do, like just piss off.

This is like the jocks bullying kids for wearing Metallica shirts or NIN shirts freshman year only to act like the biggest fans 2-3 years later.

It's like Star Trek fans getting mocked for decades, just so people who never cared in the first place can tell people who've been fans for 20-30+ years they aren't "real fans" (and banning them from communities for daring to have a critical opinion) b/c they don't gobble up every piece of shit Abrams or Kurtzman puts out.

There's just this trend of people swinging down and then when said thing becomes mainstream, they act like they've been down since day one. the important lesson is that they're cool and smart and in-tune, no matter what.

there's a lotta people that use windows but you're imagining they're all the same as the people you hate. That's hate.

people that accept the default choices in life are always the ones swinging at people who don't and it remains true even when what was once is obscure all of a sudden has cultural/business momentum to escape that relative obscurity.

sorry, are you suggesting I'm oppressing (swinging) you just because I want my OS install to be easy or idk play games or just because I'm not really into OSes and prefer to focus on other stuff?

Just to make you mad, I am going to compile this application written in an open source MS language and run it on Linux. Every day.
