Granted, I've only been subscribed to this list for about a week, but I don't recall seeing anything that I would consider "MS bashing" in it, let alone in this thread. If you want to see MS bashing, take a look at some of the "advocacy" newsgroups in USENET. As for using MS products... well, folks make choices. My choice is "no MS" -- a significant reason I left a previous employer (now defunct) is that they decided to try to port their product to an MS environment, and I decline to support such things.
