Asterios, one main reason I am considering migrating from SPSS to PSPP is
the cost. In these difficult financial times, it seems a waste (especially
for students) to justify SPSS, when a stable open source alternatives is
available.  And one that works across many platforms (e.g. mac, linux,
windows).

Also, when I can, I like to support the open source movement.
