What a stupid argument.  If it weren't for drug dealers, you wouldn't be
able to feel superior.

For the record, I have never used Microsoft software, either at work or
at home, except for a six-month period at one of my very early jobs.

So what?  That's completely irrelevant.  Microsoft had its day; that day
is now over.

Please respond to my point about the serious Windows design flaw that's been
known for 17 years and continues, to this day, to be exploited.  Don't
avoid the issues.
