Sure, they have done some monopolistic stuff, penalize them for it, but lets not go crazy.
Ah spoken by someone who has never used WinMe I bet. I despise MS with a passion mostly I think because I'm blessed with WinMe at home and at work (untill just recently) If any other company produced a product that flawed they would recall it or fix it. And yea I know I could upgrade to XP but I resent the hell out of having to pay $150Can to fix the flawed piece of crap I've already paid for.
I agree, WinME sucks, never used it, and I am the happier for it. I have used Linux, so I have something to compare things to. Linux is nice, it works, but hardware support is iffy. I hear about compatibility problems too. If you get a free distro, then when you need tech support, who do you call? Sure, Linux support Groups exist, but if you need an answer fast, it may not be what you want.
