No, it wasn't. It was motivated by the fact that he'd been <obscenity>ed
over by Micro<Yiddish term for male anatomy>. That he managed to save
costs and accrue benefits was just icing on the cake.

I didn't need to go through what he did to refuse to allow any form of
Win-Doze on any hardware I own, or to refuse to allow my NT 4.0 box at the
office to be downgraded to a newer, less-stable, less-secure version of
Win-Doze. And if my cheap generic PC-DOS 2000/Red Hat 8 dual-boot box at
home still has a few bugs here and there, it still works far better under
Linux and DOS than et ever could under WinDoze-Cross-Out-Your-Privacy.
