Exactly!  Since this group is (occasionally) about architecture, and
most machines that run MS-DOGS have such 'exciting' architecture, you
won't find many people to rally around you in this group.  Complaining
about Unix here (at least saying MS-DOS is better) is kind of like
driving into a truckstop and yelling, "All truckdrivers are stupid
morons who can't write their own names."  You're bound to get
contrasting points of view.
