>> The primary reason why people use Linux cause it's GPLd software, that's the primary driving force.
I would have to argue that's not the case. I use Linux and have for over a decade not because it's GPL but because it's useful and remains fairly constant over time. In a past life I used IBM mainframe OS's for the same reason. Those "old fashioned" machines were amazingly upwardly compatible. Old software would run just as well or even better on new releases of the OS as they did on the old. That could never be said of Microsoft or even Apple. I hate Microsoft for that reason. Anytime MS offers an upgrade, it's really a downgrade in capability and an increase in costs. I've been through a dozen iterations of "nix" software and each time it was smooth and everything that previously worked still worked. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
