Now, I’m not sure if I qualify as a Linux fanboy (I think Microsoft is utter bullshit, everything they do is substandard and available in a better for form, for less money, or free, somewhere else. Doesn’t have to be Linux, but it’s the best of the current crop, imho…), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen the level of wankface tosspot Microsoft fanboi-ism You’ll see here.

And I know why this is… These people are just plain thick. Not unintelligent, just. Fucking. Thick. How can you validate that something is properly put together if you can’t see *how* it’s put together, but instead let someone with a vested commercial interest in that thing tell you it’s better than ever, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary?

To put it in context, this is like a restaurant charging you for an apple pie that tastes remarkably like dogshit, but the restaurant advertises so much that you’re convinced it’s a good one. You know you’re not allowed to ask to see the recipe, but the manager tells you it’s made from only the finest apples.

Six months later, you go back to sample a new refinement of the pie and discover that it still tastes like shit. But this time it’s horse shit. You’ve been told that the recipe is better, and they made some ice cream once that you thought was OK, so you’re inclined to believe them.

Over time, you gradually find yourself thinking of apple pie as tasting like shit, to the level where you just can’t wait to wolf down that next stinking nugget.

The restaurant allows you to rent their equipment to make more recipes that they will sell in their restaurant, but because it’s their restaurant, everything you make still tastes of shit. Horseshit, batshit, panda shit, and most of all bullshit.

Eventually, a friend of yours tells you about a different restaurant, where you don’t pay for the food, but you can work off your meal in the kitchen. You don’t know how to cook, those guys are kinda hippies and your palette is screwed from eating all that shit, so you pass. Then you laugh about food that doesn’t taste like shit, because you’re convinced that actually, it’s really, really tasty. The manager, radio, TV and some of the other part time chefs told you so.

I mean, everyone eats there, right?
