Andrew, you forgot the part about where one set of believers decides the other
set are anathema, and must be obliterated lest their beliefs pollute the true
believers. I don't think the Windows/Mac debate has reached that point yet, but
it certainly illustrates in principle how more than a hundred million people
can die in one lousy century of warfare.
