I also believe that the "MS-DOS people" are making a poor choice
but to call them idiots is perhaps a bit strong.
Remember that for many the use of MicroSoft's OS is not a choice but an 
edict handed down by superiors, or a requirement caused by other 
factors.
Perhaps "idiot" was meant to apply to the OS, not to it's users?
