From the front lines of the great Windows/Linux War: (WLW)
Windows enthusiasts, under the leadership of Gen.Gates, start the
battle by hurling sticks of dynamite into the assembled Linux crowd.
After some initial panic and milling about, the collective wisdom of the
Linux group led to the decision to light the dynamite and throw it back.

Regarding OS's:
I drink Coke, but a lot of people drink Pepsi. A few people drink RC,
and most people think it actually would taste better if they thought
about it, which they don't. Some people buy IBC for a little extra money
sometimes, but when they go to restaurants, they end up drinking Coke or
Pepsi just like everyone else. Some people prefer 7up or Diet Coke or
Root Beer, so CokeCo and PepsiCo make 7up-flavored Coke or
RootBeer-flavored Pepsi available.
Many children drink kool-aid, because they are too naive to realize that
colored sugar-water is boring, but most people who have been drinking
liquids regularly for a few years prefer something with carbonation.
Some people pay attention to whether there's caffeine or not, but most
people don't even notice, because the carbonation and taste are the only
features that immediately impact their usage.
Some obscure intellectuals drink tea, but there's not much money in that
industry, so most of the general public never even considers it as an
option.
They changed Coke to make it taste better, but everyone hated it,
because it wasn't what they were used to.
Personally, I drink Coke mostly, because it's what I'm used to, but I do
drink Tea when it's available, and I drink Pepsi when I have to, and
it's not so bad, although it tastes funny, and I drink kool-aid when
it's all there is, but I complain about it, even if someone made it with
carbonated water thinking that will make the coke-drinkers happier.
they all rot your teeth
