The fundamental flaw in comparing an OS vs an application is quite obvious. Also, the lack of other available options in the PC OS arena make it difficult to "jump ship" and go with a competitor in which all software supported on MS OSes would work. Sure, there are tons of *nix variations, but not everyone is that technically competent to run those OSes. MS has always been skewered by the public, to the point that the US Justice Department had to step in. AFAIK, CL has avoided that level of scrutiny thus far. I think that the insinuation that MS is as, if not more, bug-ridden yet less criticized is a fallacy. YMMV. Just my viewpoint on why the MS vs CL comparison is "apples and oranges". === Back on topic: There is new info in the "Thread that Never Ends" at PoserPros regarding the P5 EULA. (Ref the link.)
