Bloated features are one thing - long-term usability and file compatibility are another, not to mention that it's immoral to use products from an immoral company like Microsoft. Are you an immoral man?
Your personal beliefs and moral judgments are not the best way to convince people to use your preferred software package. In fact, I believe, (IMHO), that it will turn far more people off to your message than you convert. It's just software. It's not religion. Accusing people of sin is not good marketing. I'd dare say that any software you use is written, distributed, marketed, or profitted off of by someone who you personally would have moral issues with. I don't know all of Linus Torvalds' past or current behaviors or beliefs. Nor do I need to know to fire up Ubuntu. Do you disconnect every website that was written in Frontpage, or tested in IE on a Windows machine? Do you ever buy something from a website hosted on a Windows server? Ever played Xbox? Ever watched MSNBC? Are you an immoral man? You are at least indirectly supporting the Great Sata... I mean Microsoft. -- - Chad Smith http://www.chadwsmith.com/
