*Many* free software applications and programs are not ready for the big market share yet. Honestly I don't personally see a world completely made by free software, there are several things I couldnt even do on my daily routine if my machines at home were running only free modules, software or drivers. If there is a piece of software which is proprietary but makes life easy to several users why wouldn't you adopt it? As I said in one of my previous e-mails no one should impose his point of view, if an X user is happy running a non-free software on his home machine (running a Linux OS) because he feels more comfortable doing so, he should be *free* to run it. In the end, I would like to point out some great free software projects I would love to see promoted more: Snowy [1], Tomboy Online and identi.ca.
