What?
Win 7 is finally a MS product as good as Linux?

You're both full of shit; you would never run linux for fear of
being shunned by the other Microsoftians. Pussies!

Maybe they just don't want to have to wear those gayasst looking penguin
suits that the linux users have to wear.

Please define "the only important software". AFAIK, everything that runs
under Windows either has an equivalent program under Linux (i.e. MS Office ->
OpenOffice.org, Photoshop -> The GIMP, Notepad -> roughly 1 billion programs)
or can be run directly using Wine (or Mono, for .Net programs).

Snot the same.

Like Open Office which works fine except when collaborating with MS users
and then minor differences create problems.
Even need to use the MS Word for state permit forms here because the minor
format problems. (And the state atty general was party to a lawsuit against
MS for anti trust while the state permits are available online only in MS
format.)
