Its not so big by past standards. There were probably more heated threads
over the Buffer statement in DOS. That goes back a few years though.

IDE vs. SCSI
This one is just about over I hope.
Dos vs. Windows
Windows vs. OS2 (The OS Wars)
    This was probably the worse time in the computer newsgroups (ECHOs?).
IBM unleashed "Team OS2" on the unsuspecting Win crowd with a vengeance.
They were supposed to help people with OS2 but quickly became some of the
worse thugs in Usenet history. You couldn't post a question about window 3.1
without some member of the team telling you what an idiot you were for using
Windows. This generally started flame wars that went on for weeks if not
months.

PIII vs. Athlon
    This started multiple crossposting between AMD and Intel newsgroups and
it was hard to get any other topic discussed
Via chipset vs. all the others
    A bad one here because no matter how many problems were pointed out,
some of the VIA crowd insisted they were the best motherboards around.

Lots more that aren't mentioned but it might be better not to :O)
