Just as some (most?) members are sick and tired of gratis comments
against Windows, Gates and MS, some of us are equally tired of rants
that characterize another OS as "failed," "unpopular" or from "the
company that nearly killed XY." Such viewpoints (both sides) seem
awfully denominational. Isn't it about time that both sides got back
on point?

Yeah, relevant indeed, since OS2 (and possibly Linux) users seem to
represent a larger percentage of this list's membership than is found
overall.

>Make XY work better. Why is that so difficult for so many to understand?

Ah, the voice of reason. Ecuminism anyone?
