Fun toy to have

However, if a factory produces shoddy products, no one buys their junk
and they go out of business.

Like Microsoft... :-P

No.

No.

Like that old saying "No one ever got fired for buying IBM equipment", no
one gets fired for buying that microsoft junk.

I've switched over almost entirely to Vista (three laptops, two desktops --
still have three desktops running XP) and like it.

It's fast, it's intuitive, it's easy, and it's cheap, relatively speaking.

Actually, the only gripe I've had with Vista is getting XP machines to
work/print on a Vista network, which has been stupidly hard. The OS itself
has been utterly bulletproof.

Not any more!
Last week it was made public that someone has figured out a way to
remotely disable all of VISTA machine's security features over the web.

Just as you like to drive a Cessna spam can, too, because you haven't
flown a real airplane yet. (Such as a Yak 52, Extra 300, Cap 232, Pitts
or the like.)

Actually, he's got two airplanes, a Piper Pathfinder and an Ercoupe.

I wouldn't mind flying the "real airplanes" you list, but I've got no
interest at all in aerobatics: I get motion sickness with any significant
positive or negative G.

There's more to real aviation than aerobatics.

Actually, aerobatics planes are a delight to fly even if you prefer
straight and level. I usually rent a Cap10 to make simple trips, just
because it is so much more fun to fly a responsive plane. Not sure it
would make a good IFR platform, though.
