I find it normal. Not everyone has perfect mastery of either the Englsih language or the keyboard, and may be in too much or a hurry to spell-check, or not have a built-in spell checker to hand. He's not writing an essay for teacher.

Yes, I'm very tolerant. And no, I don't particularly enjoy reading badly-spelled posts, although I tend to find poorly punctuated and paragraphed ones more difficult to read. But nor do I think it's my job or my right to correct someone's spelling unless they've requested that I do so.

I prefer not to lose my job.

Any way you like, since this is not about 'racing'. It's easy to say Windows will 'win', when you know there are many Windows desktops that are bound to be converted eventually to 64-bit. All MS really has to do is abandon its older operating systems, and companies who rely on their products will more or less have to upgrade, or fall behaind and lose their support. That's how Ms makes its money, remember?

The development and usage of Linux, on the other hand, is not driven solely by profit.
