I'm not one to judge anyone, and I don't judge Bill Gates. Judging is not up to any of us, but rather The Almighty. I'm personally not fond of MS products, policies, business strategy, etcetra. I'm just a Christian GNU/Linux user. I enjoy having complete control of the look, feel and function of my OS.
