I'll try anything. I'm a little scared to try Rocky Mountain Oysters... But, I want to just to do it. :) Shrimps aren't that bad, if you like seafood. I love shrimp. Most shrimp. Some tastes bad, though.

Because there was a time, 10 years ago or so, when hating Microsoft was trendy and all the cool kids did it. These are the same ones that hate Microsoft now. They just don't realize it isn't cool anymore. Microsoft has some GREAT products, great tools. And if they don't use them because they are from "Microsoft", then it doesn't say much about them. I don't hate anything I haven't used, and used it enough to know it good enough. That's just blind hate, "just because". I wouldn't listen to any of their advice, their opinions would have no merit. They have nothing to back up their claims... That said, there are times when I choose Linux and other open source projects because they are the right TOOL for the job. It's like saying you don't like Craftsman because they are Sears, you'll only buy Mac or Snap-On (ok, bad analogy... Snap-On and Mac are superior). Same screwdriver, gets the same job done.
