It hurts MS users feelings when anyone brings up Ubuntu, Mint or really any flavor of linux/unix as a reasonable alternative to the MS capitalist tread mill so they snark at ya. Funny ...I guess they know they spent their money on shit that they will forever have to keep spending money on. Meanwhile I can take almost any old obsolete box I have and run linux. It used to be that gamer's had good cause to use a MS custom gamer box but with the Sony PS3-4 there's no need to do that anymore. Well at least one of my old $400 video cards from the MS days works well with Ubuntu.I always knew linux would be on top ...goes back to the days when someone made a driver for a 3com 10 baseT card so NASA could network.
