    When you’re going around on EVERY. SINGLE. MICROSOFT. THREAD. to say “GO ON LINUX! IT MAKES YOU HARD IN YOUR PANTS!” YOU are by and large, being a marketer. Just because you aren’t getting paid for it or aren’t directly affiliated, doesn’t remove that ability that you’re going around advertising for this product.

    Bit weird to be so defensive on this and re-purpose what marketing is when you just outlined what marketing is like.

    No I won’t direct my anger at Microsoft, don’t you tell me shit. I’m directing my anger at you and the OP because of shit like this with the whole Linux parade that always happens whenever anything is reported about Microsoft.

    I would’ve thought that Linux usage going over 1% for once in a long time, would’ve been enough to shut you guys the fuck up. Guess not. Gotta inflate numbers. Gotta promote GROWTH!

    So sick of you Linux clowning fanboys parading your free advertising. Bit weird of you to justify that, ain’t it? Bit weird.

    Stop raping people’s free choice already, just stop. You don’t see Windows users telling Linux users to go use Windows, do you? No, you don’t.

    This is what being a Linux fanboy is probably like

      Nobody is attacking your free choice, they’re literally trying to give you another option. That’s what free choice is all about.

      If you are making an informed devision to remain with windows as it gets worse and worse, then that is up to you, but don’t come at people for trying to offer you an alternative just because you’ve made that decision.

      You think people choose Microsoft Windows because of free choice? You know it’s pre-installed on every computer right?

      New users don’t make an active choice. Windows is default. Alternatives are better than windows, but must be recommended to users so they know about it.
