Beware extended metaphors. They are a royal road to stupid.
I couldn't keep reading after this bit:
"Windows promised to replace the risk and uncertainty of a world splintered by different platforms under just one operating system. Anyone who didn't play along with the official party line was ostracized to a Siberian gulag, or at least ridiculed as an enemy of compatibility and a threat to low Total Cost of Ownership."
As a Mac owner throughout the '90s, I've seen my share of deranged, over-the-top anti-Microsoft rhetoric, but this makes Apple's 1984 commercial look like a Ken Burns film.
