I've got a windows xp box at home (in addition to a red hat box), and I run as much GPL software on it as I can... Thunderbird and Firebird and Open Office - oh my! I've been steadily moving my wife away from IE and Outlook - I forgot to tell her when I made mozilla the default browser and the fire breathing monster scared her - she said "I've never seen a virus, but this has got to be one."
I also tried to install open office and mozilla on a windows 2000 computer at work (I work for a large public flagship university here in town), and was told to uninstall them because they were: a) a security risk because they were "open" and b) buggy and prone to break other software because they weren't microsoft products Michael John Hebert wrote: >BTW: Cool beans to you for running free|open source software on Windoze. >I'd like to see more people doing so.
