If that were true, the vast majority of us, who used to be Windows 
users, wouldn't be here.

You can add your lone voice to the increasingly agitated Microsoft 
endorsers, as you see fit - we're all for free speech here, but I don't 
think it's going to slow the gradual migration percentage away from 
Windows considerably.

Microsoft's present marketing-blurb overtures in the direction of 
free/open source scream that they are aware of it also.
Even that will quieten down, when the effluent from the quagmire of 
their own creation fills their mouths, as they go under for the final time.
