I talked about other people, and not myself. I'm not biased towards any of them. Why should one use linux based OS just because they are FOSS, and not use use MS OS because its paid n all? Instead we should consider which one is best for us. Every platform has its own pros and cons. Why should i make my dad learn about terminals and all, when what he actually needs to use is just browser and other basic tools? And its not just about my dad, but many many others. The way you took the discussion from "easy usability" to "*liberalisation" made me laugh :)* Regards, Gautam Chaudhary http://gautamchaudhary.com > -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
