Haha, you just confirmed my assertion that Linux users tend to be religious zealots. That's ok. Just don't go crashing any planes into buildings. :-) Fwiw, I like Linux too, I'm just trying to balance the viewpoint that many people have of Windoze as sucking like hell. It doesn't and it's excellent. (Except for the fact that it is neither free nor open-source) A lot (read: A lot, *NOT ALL*) of the Windoze-smearing going on around is FUD too! And this time it's from the Linux camp. (no, using Linux and parroting Stallman's views does not automatically make you a holy or wise person or even "l33t" - there are now a LOT of Linux-using lamer wanna-bes out there now that it has become friendlier). Don't get me wrong I think much of MS' business tactics stink worse and a lot of their other software also sucks (but not their OS). > The minute Microsoft has no credible competition, you can expect free bug > fixes to stop.

But in general, I strongly agree with the spirit of your argument here. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
