Indeed, and Linux users such as myself are fat dumb
and stupid as well.  It's quite obvious that one has
to have considerable intelligence to keep track of all
of the malware on Windows out there, plus all of the
patches, patch interdependencies, blacklisted websites,
*whitelisted* websites (for proper spam reception), etc.
Therefore, Windows is quite clearly the superior solution
for education, training the kiddies to dodge, weave, duck,
and on occasion lie (Microsoft is a good mentor in that
area; the most obvious example is "getting rid of DOS"
in the Chicago/W95 timeframe but there's probably a few
other whoppers) in order to get done what needs to be done.

Contrast that to Linux, which just sort of sits there
and takes it, like the kid in the back with the black eye
(but he still has his lunch money).

Yeppers.

Microsoft.  What did you want to learn today?

Linux.  The choice of a GNU generation.
Windows.  The choice of a bunch of people who like very weird behavior on
a regular basis, random crashes, and "extend, embrace, and extinguish".
