On a completely OT point. Writing M$ to refer to Microsoft is not childish. Personally it is my way of making a small statement about how I feel about their business practices and to express my discontent about them. It is not about them wanting to make money, it is about them wanting to crush anyone that stands in their way. I could go on, but I won't. It would be a moot point and has been argued to death elsewhere. Just understand that for some of us, the $ is a statement of our feelings, not a childish babble.
Microsoft is a company like any other. ;P They're not out to "get you" any more than any other large corporation out there. The problem lies in the simple fact that there's no competition. Things would be just peachy (pretty awesome, in fact) if there was another evil superconglomerate that was at once on even footing with Microsoft, and in direct competition with it.
I'm hip because I say "M$" instead of "MS".
