Well the whole Microsoft fiasco is over so we don't need to dwell on that.

Although I am curious as to what narcotics these apologists took to warp their brains badly enough to whisper the name "physical distribution" as if it was a great tyrant to be feared and overthrown.

Some people get so enthusiastic from all the excitement that they begin villainizing things that aren't bad to begin with and won't be going away just because something new and different emerged.
