Some anti-Microsoft quotes I just found:
1) People say that if you play Microsoft CD's backwards, you hear satanic things, but that's nothing, because if you play them forwards, they install Windows.
2) The box said 'Requires Windows 95 or better'. So I installed LINUX.
3) In a world without fences and walls, who needs Gates and Windows?
4) Microsoft: "You've got questions. We've got dancing paperclips."
5) MICROSOFT = Most Intelligent Customers Realize Our Software Only Fools Teenagers
6) Windows has detected you do not have a keyboard. Press 'F9" to continue.
7) Use The Best...
Linux for Servers
Mac for Graphics
Palm for Mobility
Windows for Solitaire
8) Software is like sex: It's better when it's free.
9) Unix, DOS and Windows...the good, the bad and the ugly.
10) ACs are like computers- Both work fine until you open Windows!

“What to do if you find yourself stuck in a crack in the ground underneath a giant boulder you can't move, with no hope of rescue. Consider how lucky you are that life has been good to you so far. Alternatively, if life hasn't been good to you so far, which given your current circumstances seems more likely, consider how lucky you are that it won't be troubling you much longer.”
― Douglas Adams
“The History of every major Galactic Civilization tends to pass through three distinct and recognizable phases, those of Survival, Inquiry and Sophistication, otherwise known as the How, Why, and Where phases. For instance, the first phase is characterized by the question 'How can we eat?' the second by the question 'Why do we eat?' and the third by the question 'Where shall we have lunch?”
