Hi, Peter.
   What should I do in order not to be misunderstood by
you anymore? I didn't try to advocate MS.

   By the way, can't say for washing machines and watches,
but I heard a rumor that databases and web servers
sometimes have MS guts :-)
   And this phrase about non-M$ stuff: "a) they work
reliably most of the time" just for being non-M$.
   Plato, Aristotel are cool guys, but truth ...

   Mike :-)
