Paoli: Microsoft will engage with the open source and standards communities Posted Apr 16, 2012 20:24 UTC (Mon) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630) [Link] Maybe it's insulting, but it's accurate.

Because you know every and all Windows users, right?. You have a brain, use it.
Paoli: Microsoft will engage with the open source and standards communities Posted Apr 17, 2012 0:27 UTC (Tue) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630) [Link] I didn't say "all Windows users." I said "the vast majority" and I stand by that. The vast majority of Windows users didn't specifically choose the software they run. The run whatever came on their computer and are probably completely unaware that a non-Windows computer is even possible.

Don't troll. It's deeply insulting and wildly inaccurate. You have no way to judge a person's intelligence even in technical matters just because he or she is using Windows or any other operating system for that matter.
Paoli: Microsoft will engage with the open source and standards communities Posted Apr 17, 2012 0:29 UTC (Tue) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630) [Link] I'm not trolling. It's absolutely a fact that most Windows users use Windows because it came with their computer and are unaware of alternatives (or even the possibility of alternatives). If you'd spent even one day doing end-user consumer-level PC support, you'd know that what I say is accurate.

Now, what you are saying about users being unaware of alternatives is true but that absolutely does NOT make them 'simple minded sheep' in any way. That is pure trolling. You need to stop doing that.
