If you've only been using Linux for a week, you can't really, REALLY hate Microsoft. Ah well, atleast you /. :-)
See, the problem is, that Microsoft is NOT that bad, and they're definitely not "falling apart", it seems almost like propoganda to suggest the company is in any kind of financial trouble.
Why...what's the big deal? I can understand hating Internet Explorer, but Microsoft is not that bad. A world with Microsoft is better off than a world without it. It's very likely that the world will always be running practically homogenous computers, making whatever system, *nix or otherwise, the target. I'll agree that the Linux kernel is superior, but not for the average end-user.
Can you imagine technical support, with hundreds of millions of Linux users, coming from a Windows enviroment? Windows, at the current point and time, is simply easier to use. (For most people)
