i'm comfortable with windows and with linux. the hardware in all these things is interesting. so you want to go with proprietary software. love you for it.
I'm fine with proprietary software, yes. I go with the software that best meets my needs, and that's Windows. I'm not saying you can't prefer linux, I'm just giving my reasons why Windows is what most people prefer.
no one has forgotten that Windows is the most popular. who cares. you're the one yelling about windows on mobile platforms and it is the best shit ever. I still think linux is better, but it's debatable. this is like arguing with my grandpa after he got DOS 6.0 in a box, on 3.5" disks. He thought he was the most clever of fellows. Fuck him.
I'm not though. I'm explaining the reasons why the meme is shit.
