That's it, I'm sick of open source!

Come on now, I know you've all thought it before. Can you blame me? Think of all the families of people that work for Microsoft. How can I justify using open-source software when I'm taking food off little Timmy's table by not giving my money to Microsoft?

I just can't live with the guilt anymore. Timmy deserves food. How selfish it was of me to use open source software - thinking of only my own best interests. What about Timmy?!

Yeah, pop-ups really aren't that bad... advertiser's kids need to eat as well. I've gone back to IE as well. And I've turned off my spam filters. Did you know that they're selling Viagra online? AND there are hot chicks that want to meet me? As soon as my "prescription" comes in, look out ladies...

I'm going to delete OpenOffice from my computer right now and go buy Microsoft Office. Bill Gates needs the $500 way more than I do. I can only hope the good people at Microsoft can forgive me for my errant open source ways.

I am touched...

I think I am going to send M$ the $180 X 3 that I owe them for the lovely OSs they have "donated" to me over the years... and all my MP3s... deleted. CloneCD... Uninstalled. Games like WC3, C&C generals ZH, and RavenShield... NoCD Patches, gone. I am gonna start a clean slate. Does anyone want to buy a slightly over-used AMD XP 2500 Barton, with the die connected... I am writing a letter to AMD right now telling them how truly sorry I am for using the hardware that I bought in ways they never intended. Also, no more porn, ever.

Oh...my...GOD! You're so right! All the developers, their families, but that's not all! Think of all the magazines that get published promoting Microsoft products! All those writers, publishers, advertising staff!

And the consultants! All those people who selflessly come in and explain how everything we did using Linux, BIND, Apache and sendmail was bad, and how much better things would be if we shelled out hundereds of dollars for faster computers, to support Exchange! These people need love and money too! If we don't support them, who will?

And the hardware manufacturers, wiht thier superpowered machines to support the additional services and programs that come with Windows, we should thow out all the PIII's we've got and get some quad processor P4's RIGHT AWAY!


The humanity, oh, the humanity!

I've come around too. After this post I'm deleting everything that I "borrowed" from the internet.

Which means I wont be online till I come up with the $200 I need to give Bill for this lovely OS he has made for me.
