Windows refund day reacton



     I saw an article on some on-line news site (ABC?) and it sounded like 
     the Linux users were going a little overboard.  It wasn't presented 
     like they were trying to choose their OS, but like they were getting 
     in Microsoft's face about it.  Probably, judging from some of the 
     messages I've seen in various news groups, alot of people were.  
     People might not be reacting to Linux so much as perceived attitudes 
     of individuals.

John, thanks for your response.  I'm sorry my message wasn't clear; I was 
pointing out that there seems to be a reaction against Linux users, and 
others involved in Refund Day.  That's what I find so baffling, that folks 
seeking a fair break have become been the object of such anger.
