Lookit Me, I'm a Crusader

An ongoing holy war is that of Linux vs. Windows vs. Mac. Normally, that wouldn't be a bad thing, and we'd all be taking sides. Windows would be winning, since it's what the new folks these days are being brought up on and 99 percent of store-bought computers are loaded with some edition of Vista.

Another bunch of holy wars, albeit smaller, are the license wars: BSD vs. GPL, etc. Personal choice? BSD. What's winning? Depends on who you talk to.

This can continue on and on. IE vs. FF, Gnome vs. KDE, to a lesser extent WPA vs. WEP, the list goes forever.

To quote ThymeCypher: "You forgot the even worse Apple monopoly. I’d like to see someone DARE an open source OSX clone like ReactOS without Apple threatening various lawsuits and every fan boy out there immaturely throwing F-bombs and whatnot as if you have to be worthy to breathe the same air as Steve Jobs. Pshh."
