No, I'll stick with bashing Windows because it is a shitty operating system. JMHO. It has NOTHING to do with Windows not being free. When I started running Linux in '95 it was because I wanted to learn about UNIX and I wanted to be able to do software developement without VB & Visual Studio. There are more reasons than I care to list right now why I have stuck with Linux. Most of my Winblows users are currently migrating to Macs BECAUSE THEY WANT TO AND THEY ARE SICK OF WINDOWS. Most of these are non-savy, non-techy users and if they see that windows is a POS then I believe that many others in the general population agree, but just don't see the alternatives or are not motivated to move off of M$. They just stick with the shitty status quo, just because that is "what everyone else is doing". Note here that my users are moving from a non-free OS to a non-free OS simply because Windows sucks WITH NO MOTIVATION FROM ME. They are coming in droves to ask for an alternative. So that blows your argument about it being the only argument that holds water.
