Huh? Remind me what exists that doesn't have a learning curve. If
you're saying that nothing in the world is free, then saying Linux isn't
free is pretty trivial. Many would argue that Linux is the only free OS
since the source is open. Free as in freedom.

Realize this has more to do with hardware manufacturers cooperating with
Microsoft than anything. I'd also say that if you want an OS that you
can turn on and expect it to continue running, stick with Linux.
