I hate that operating system for their atrocities against the boot loader

I don't hate them for it, I kinda laugh at them for it ... I think it's wrong because it does nothing to further peaceful and constructive discourse between OS fans, mind you I think MS should give Windows away for free and sell their apps for all OS's.

A second "mind you" is the problems I have using a disk for Windows once linux is on it i.e. after the latter has been removed. Only solution I've found so far is FDISK/MBR which in this age of floppy-less PC's is getting hard to do.

I would be happy enough if Microsoft didn't alter his licensing structure for every single product. Pay per seat, per processor, per connection, volume size, memory allocation. You need an expert in MS licensing just to be sure you are legal.
