X vs Y. Why?

Posted 01-15-2006 at 06:02 PM by XavierP

Contrary to what appears to be popular belief, Linux users do not, by default, hate Microsoft or Windows. Some of us still make our living from picking up after them.

The number of "Windows vs Linux" threads seems to be increasing, why? Why why why?

Ingredients:
1 blog
1 blogger
Mixed users
