In countries with a Christian background we have an expression (or two) for what you are doing. We refer to it as 'preaching to the converted' or 'preaching to the choir'. I am sure that there would be an equivalent phrase in use in Muslim based countries. While I am proceeding on the 'belief' pathway (I am trying to tread carefully but please forgive me if I tread on ant toes), It is interesting for the non-believers perspective (That windoze is the most/only . . . . .) to see the behavior of those who clink to their belief in the face of contrary evidence (GUI, software, bling etc...).

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~algeriatul More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
