You're right, but I think those people are just victims of proprietary
software.
There are several different types of victims:
1. The ones who can't avoid prop. software because they _really_ need some
unavailable features, for example because of their job; I regret them very
much. The free software movement has to work very hard to give them their
freedom.
2. The ones who just don't know about the whole problem;
3. The ones who know, but don't want to know it. They're somehow addicted to
proprietary software; they don't want to give away their pretty toys;
everyone who tells them bad things about prop. software is just a threat to
their harmonic world.
A friend of mine and I had a long discussion about free software, and
everything developed fine for me. My arguments were convincing and he seemed
to get more and more convinced; but since that day, he reacts very
emotionally whenever he hears the word free software and pretends to be bored
or pissed off like I would be talking about it whole day, which is not the
case.
I think he's a victim of prop. software to, and perhaps one of the most
affected.
