Microsoft SUCKS ASS!!! Their business practices are, in my opinion, a clinic in power mania. They refuse to rewrite their kluged, swiss cheese OS, for fear of a temporary hit to their bottom line. So the world is polluted with this insecure, bomb prone OS. Could anyone not suicidal imagine trying to run the ISS, or a manned Lunar Base on MS Windows? Of course not.
