Are Microsoft users abuse victims?

[elfs]

Omaha asked me this, in relationship to her Mac, but I have to wonder about it in general. I mean, it really does start to sound like it sometimes: "Oh, it's not Windows' fault, it's mine. Really. If I worked harder at our relationship, I wouldn't have the crashes and the viruses and the spam. I just have to do what Bill tells me, and it will all be okay, right? I mean, that's really the issue. I stay because I know it'll get better. It will. I've put too much time and effort into it to give up now."

Just musing.

*blink blink* You know, you've got a point. They get a real case of Helsinki Syndrome, don't they?

The only problem is, who the hell other than us Linux converts would buy it? Particularly not some judge who is herself (Ms. Kotelly) an addict...

I've said for years that it is unfair that the government officials who try Microsoft for anti-trust are themselves Microsoft (ab)users... and no one will take me seriously.
