DFS seems to be referring to a mini CV that I wrote 3-4 years ago when I was
still dual-booting. Yes, I can still cope with Windows fairly well, but I only
ever touch Windows once or twice a year (usually while on vacation).
Windows and Microsoft are separate things, but Windows is the embodiment of
corruption (monopoly abuse) and it gets worse as time goes by. The last
version of Windows that I used properly (i.e. on a personal PC) was Windows 98
and it didn't have all the 'special' features at the time.
