Maybe the quality problems with microsoft software are finally hitting
close enough to home for people to pay some attention to the hidden costs
of using the MS platform for anything important. Don't get me wrong, I
like windows as a desktop os, but it is a miserable choice for anything
"mission critical".

Imagine what the world would be like if Windows was used for air traffic
control or nuclear power control systems. It would give "Blue Screen of
Death" a whole new meaning.
