Indeed Linux is a superior OS to what is available from micro$oft. That is why
I changed os's. And I personaly do not endorse companys that follow the
type of business practices that micro$oft does. I don't like seeing any company
monopolize the market place, that kills competition and just about prevents
innovation. Intel doesn't have the market wrapped up like micro$oft and they
have some stiff competition, and they aren't crying foul about it.
I believe what it comes down to is if you change to a better OS, then support it
and the developers, support the new releases and help make them it better so
they can be competitive, on the same level, because if we who use the better
OS don't - who will? How will it ever get better?
Anyway, that's my thoughts, not bad for middle of the night I guess.
Good nite
