Then why are 90% of the worlds PC's still running Windoze? Look, I am definitely NOT in the Windoze camp but this is just going too far. You do realize that by making such statements you're not doing the Linux community any good. You're just proving the Windoze guys right who consider Linux users as a "religious cult" which is trying to convert everyone to Linux. If Linux is suitable for the users, they will migrate on their own. All we can do is educate them - THATS IT. By making statements like - "Windoze is a BIG spyware. Windoze is malware. Windoze SUCKS!!! Linux ROCKSS!!!" will just make them stick to Windows. Show them facts, figures and they'll immediate think twice before using Windows. For all the RMS and Linus fans out there, remember that these guys are in no way good marketing guys. They are just hackers/techies. Once in a while they too make mistakes. To err is human and RMS/Linus both are humans afterall. So they sometimes make statements which may do more harm than good. I personally think people of RMS' stature shouldn't be making such statements since he knows all too well that Linux community has a lot of "over enthusiastic" people who will take his words literally. So, think with your brains and dont follow around these guys blindly. Afterall, FOSS is all about making an informed choice. And please try not to get into Linux vs Windoze flame wars. There have been one too many - even on this list. -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
