This and what follows maybe pretend to be funny, but, SORRY, it is just
silly.
You should know, as a programmer, than the fact to be or not to be
windows is not so irrelevant as you put it with your "joke". Fact is
that we have heard for too long time broadsides against windows programs
on the ground of his slow procedings and lack of "professionalism" -they
are called mass market programs- and all the rest and so the fact that
now we have two winners means something, at least. Keep your wit for
Tiger. It needs it.
