    Yes indeed. EVERY single system that ACER sells recomments Vista. Only in
    the mind of a dishonest liar like Roy Schestowitz is Acer angry at
    Microsoft.

    etc, etc, etc. EVERY single laptop and desktop ACER sells recommends Vista.
    Total number of linux recommendations = ZERO


    Oh look - Acer runs their global website on Microsoft products too.

    When we see such simplistic dishonest tactics being adopted by Timmy,
    Erik, Scott, Gary and co, then I think we can say that we are well into
    the end-game. They've abandoned any pretence of honest or open
    discussion.

    At least a couple of them are also at Digg now, modding down each of my
    comments. I still try to align the username with the COLA handle. As for
    trolls like Gary and Scott, their fake identities expire after 24 hours, which
    makes plonking weak (and inflated or complex).
