so, you mean to say you should install versions without support? support is something that is needed, at least thats wot i understand.. not everybody can be a software programmer to fix bugs as and when they find them.. once again, u r narrowing down choices here.. u seem to suggest that "buy free software only if the edition with support costs less than windows".. editions with support can/should be bought.. and when the society moves to a more FS-based society, it would be a profitable thing to start shops offering AMCs at lesser costs.. and then, people would setup those businesses.. and thus, it would thrive..
i dont find any meat in the argument that only support-less versions should be bought..
