Not sure about everyone else but I've been running Windows XP on this box for the past two years without any problems.
You're totally missing the point. Ford was one of the first companies to popularize automobiles, and definitely the first to make them available to the masses. Nevertheless, standards changed, and while at one point half the cars in America were T-Fords, now the situation is entirely different, and their bonds have been downgraded to junk status.

Thinking MS will fall is not the same as hating on MS
