Cement is useful if used properely -- for instance, in the manufacture
of concrete; windows is useful if used properly -- for instance, in the
manufacture of a weak and insecure network or a bloated and inefficient
desktop that crashes every few days for no apparent reason. Windows,
like cement, is everywhere -- windows, unlike cement, is everywhere b/c
its producer (Microsoft) has engaged in numerous
illegal/anti-trust/uncompetitive practices and done so while bribing the
"right" public officials in the form of "campaign contributions,"
"donations," "charitable acts," etc.... Cement, on the other hand, is
everywhere because it actually works, unlike Windoze.
