Real one true and fully unofficially licenced genuine advantage
Summary:
Not so newbie thinks
1) M$ popularised the desktop
2) is good at marketing
Replies point to info showing things to be something else
4)  Op thinks if M$ is popular and if it's not marketing it must be
some other "thing" they do right - however he is cluless about
this "thing"
5) Someone points out M$ unethical behaviour
6) Op confuses ethics, money making and business
7) Dinesh thinks anybody who corrects M$ crappy PR is an ogre and we
should learn from M$
8) Everbody is still wondering what is it that he wants us to learn
9) Inbetween everbody lets off some steam.
