I wasn't singling you out, and I'm sorry if I seemed to be. For my
interests, Microsoft is fully suited to my needs, so I don't have any reason
to check out another OS. If my needs change, perhaps I'll shop around, but
until that time MS-Office is adequate for my word processing, and IE
Explorer gets me around the web okay. I expect this is true of the vast
majority of computer users at my level, and most would probably be just as
happy with another user-friendly if they'd used it all along.

Oh, juniorization is a self-evident stinker, so you'll get no argument
from me there.
Dave!
