Just having it around burdens the users with effectively a 20% loss of effort. Even if the acquisition costs and maintenance costs were the same, which they aren’t, by several orders of magnitude, the pain for the end users needs to be counted.

I’ve noticed that people ‘get used to’ Windows, and ‘eventually kind of like it’, but then you check their productivity before and after life with windows, With Windows, they tend to get as much done in half a week as they used to get done in a day or sometimes just an afternoon. It’s like so much electronic soma.

The monoguard or monomaniacs or whatever to tag them have a lot of gall pushing M$ technology into otherwise relatively efficient systems. Nasty business they are in, trolling unsuspecting novices into damaging their systems.
