I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

But there is little to no overlap in the use of those three tools, which is completely untrue in the case of desktop OSs.

Remember, in the Web 1.0 years, when we organized ourselves to flock towards every Mac vs PC poll we would find to skew the result against the evil empire?

How sad that was.

Vista for games? Of the 15 or so hard core gamers that I know, not one uses Vista.

Though they do mock me for buying a Mac, so they must be idiots.
