I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you here.
As for my bias, I'm a Microsoft guy, although I have tried to branch out
a little on and off over the years, I've always ended up with Microsoft
products.
I'm currently just finishing swearing up a storm as after a recent power
outage, all of my 2003 servers came back up, all of my Vista boxes did,
my one OSX box survived, FreeBSD firewall was happy too... Even the
Win98 virtual machine I left running came back up.
Neither of my Linux boxes would bother to boot (filesystem corruption,
more or less unrecoverable by automated tools, and it was easier to
rebuild then to figure out if it would be possible to hire assistance)
That being said, I thank $DIETY that we have Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX. As
users, e *need* competition. Microsoft needs it too.
Look at how long we were stuck with IE6 -- It took Mozilla to get
Microsoft even remotely interested in developing IE.
(And yes, I'm mainly a Firefox user, and have been since before Phoenix
was anything but nightlies)

That example is pointless because I wasn't talking about
applications. Yes you are a Microsoft guy if you believe Internet
Explorer is part of the personal computer operating system.

I don't believe IE part of an OS in general, although it's certainly
part of Windows.
However, it's a perfect example of why Microsoft needs competition. All
companies do.
