Template:User OS:Microsoft Windows 95

Keep, and a keep on every other user box related to Microsoft Windows listed below.

Commentary: CatherineWest appears to be quite confused as to what these user boxes are for. A simple, personal statement regarding what operating system you use is not a "commerical", or even so much as an "endorsement" of a particular platform. There's a pretty clear bias against Microsoft operating systems here, too; why aren't Apple Computer's userboxes, e.g., targeted for the same reason? Anyhow.... CatherineWest, who has contributed no content to Wikipedia in the day or so that they've had an account, spent some time earlier today attaching speedy deletion templates to many of these articles, which were quickly reverted. While there's something to be said about having the tenacity to start a whole pile of deletion discussions, this whole thing just looks like a dump started by a new Wikipedian (or an old Wikipedian with a grudge) who's looking to agitate, not contribute.
