My income over the last 20 years would probably have been much
greater if I worked on the Microsoft Virus, Windows.  We have
turned down a fair amount of business where people wanted us to
install Windows on networks.  I like to fix things once, and not
have to keep doing the same ``fixes'' repeatedly.

Where our clients have Windows, we generally have them using a
Linux server with Samba where they keep data that needs to be
secure, and minimize that which is on the Windows machines.

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a
man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
