Re[2]: [libreoffice-users] [OT] Microsloth Winblows was: Re: Lotus Wordpro files

If I have offended someone, I apologize; however, making negative comments about an OS is certainly 
not a personal
attack against users of said OS.  I could care less what OS someone uses, I am though, entitled to 
my personal opinion
regarding Windows, Linux, OS/2, etc.  That being said, can anyone deny that Microsoft has always 
made it difficult
for people to use any software that competes with something they offer?  Microsoft may control the 
world market for
desktop operating systems; that does not make it necessarily the best available.  Every iteration 
of Windows makes it
increasingly difficult for the average person to continue using their existing hardware.  My 
Thinkpad T30 works fine
with XP (my T20 works fine with OS/2), do you think it will function well with Windows 7?  
Microsoft seems to think everyone
has a bottomless pocket and can constantly upgrade their equipment.

Don, give me a break.
