Get over yourselves

Listening to MS bashers gets tiresome. No OS, or any other piece of computer software, is perfect or completely safe. Windows, Android, Apple, all variants of Linux are subject to bugs and security holes. If you think your favorite is the exception you're fooling yourself or trying to fool a potential customer. While St. Jobs was alive he insisted on the myth that the Apple OS never needed to be patched. Some of the Linux apostles on these forums believe Linux is bullet proof. All software is shit, deal with it. At least Microsoft makes an effort to keep their buggy product patched; but, in the end it depends on the end users. If they don't patch whatever they use then they and everyone else on the Internet with them will suffer. And, stop whining because Windows beat your personal favorite and keeps beating it. Deal with that as well. Regardless of it's technical merits it is much better suited for the masses.
