Talking of choice, there is a nice quote at:
http://www.pulhas.org/

Quoting from www.pulhas.org
--------------------------------
Choose Windows. Choose the eXPerience.
Choose flashy menus on your fucking server.
Choose Exchange. Choose IIS.
Choose Code Red, Nimda, the Lovebug, and a sexy Melissa...
Choose Outlook and end up wondering where your stupid .docs are.
Choose not to choose. Let Micro$oft do it for you.


But why would I want to do a thing like that?

I choose not to be chosen: I choose something else.
The reasons? There are too many reasons.
And who needs reasons when you've got Linux?
