Some interesting quotes: http://redmondmagazine.com/news/article.asp?editorialsid=8978
"The main obstacle to interoperability today is Microsoft, which often imposes deliberate incompatibility," said Stallman in an e-mail. "The minuses of Windows are that it restricts you, spies on you, divides you from other users, and gives Microsoft the control over your computer. Any minor advantages Windows might have over (GNU/Linux) are insignificant by comparison." And "A distinct advantage of open source is that as long as there is even one remaining, devoted contributor, the software will continue to be enhanced," Freedman said. "Now, just look at Vista -- it's a confusing mess that wasn't special at all, it's mostly eye candy with a few goodies sprinkled here and there. And although the Linux community is scattered with so many different distributions, it's hard to beat 'no cost' if you have to upgrade a thousand desktops." David L.
