Indeed, at at times, you make some very valid points. But must we be subjected to your anti-Redmond viewpoint in every single post you make?

“[...] I just can’t see what the advantage is”

Every single instance of a device that runs Linux is a little piece of market share denied to Redmond. The white-anting of Windows is advantageous to customers, users and technologists all over the world, and in fact it would be difficult to overstate the importance of the benefits conferred.
