Microsoft Windows is *not* an Operating System

After recently contracting for an investment firm who insists on using Microsoft Windows for an 'operating system', and after having my/their developer box re-imaged several times because of the Win32.Polipos virus rampantly running across their network, it occurred to me that Micro$oft Windoze is NOT an operating system... it's a binary petri dish with the sole purpose is to create a multi-billion dollar business for the likes of Symantec and McAffe.

As for me... I'm thankful my personal computers and laptops are running FreeBSD. Long live the BSD Foundation!
