    As far as I know, sentences start with capital letters. Words in all caps probably don't exist either. So don't get all worked up for one spelling mistake.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Fountain, you need to settle down, mate. Though, it does look like you are enjoying defending something that probably couldn't care less about you...

    Getting back to the main idea of this thread ...
    Which OS dominates users around the world depends on what programmers chose to write their software in. Think about it: if you wrote everything in Windows, guess what OS people would need to run it? It solely depends on this.

    Sentance, huh? Y'know, it's usually my position to take the side opposite of Dean-o on this board, but man... Fountain - you're making choosing a side difficult for me.
