Is Microsoft Windows an elitist operating system?
Advertisements [?]
I'm not suggesting that a majority of people who use it are elitist. I'm suggesting that it's absurd for anyone to imagine that an Apple operating system or an IBM operating system for personal computers or an implementation of Linux or anything that anybody might develop could compete against the elite people who work at Microsoft.

Americans who buy his products are like starving farmers who think that selling the farm to an infidel is a solution. How much farm land could Americans collectively have purchased with the money they used to buy products from Microsoft?

Surely it would be better to starve to death than to live and work in a city. Surely it would be better to be killed than to sell your land to someone whose religion is different from yours. Surely it would be better for Americans to stop using computers than for them to buy a product designed via elitist alchemy and magic.
