Let us assume what you say is true.MS didn't invent anything, they just stole every idea.So what? Why the hell is the company that just stole ideas the most successful.

No, he's entitled to his opinion. But no one needs:1. Terrible grammar.2. Obscure logic.3. Sentences in all caps.4. Swearing for the sake of swearing.5. Redundant requests (Bury me...) 6. or "L337" speak.This brief message brought to you by the Campaign for Online Intelligence and Literacy (COIL).
Sounds like you have a good life. On the one hand I can see that it is good that you have no worries. On the other hand, I have to agree with Spyker that if you weren't in a Socialist society you'd have it even better. For example, in America, I make half of what you make, have less education, and my wife doesn't work, yet my living standard is higher then yours.I'll agree that the Scandinavian governments run their countries well given that they are socialist. Their kept in check from the smaller and more politically aware populace, something I really wish we had here.

At first glance it looked as if Bill Gates was giving the bird in the picture. It would fit.

Vista does suck. Perhaps you haven't noticed because, well, you do too.

Jeez, it was intended sarcastically since the context said "work" instead of "donation".
