Et tu? :P > And what kind of support do you expect? Heh...then thats the user's problem... :/ If hes so pissed with M$ then he'll find the support he needs in LUGs or he can /buy/ SuSE, Lycoris or whatever Linspire or something. He'll get all the support he needs, I think. :P > Nope. That was a hint as to why getting stuff without paying the OS > tax is difficult. Heh...maybe for branded machines. Not applicable in the Indian scenario anyway as most people use assembled PCs. Now please stop cribbing about the support part if you dont have credible points to raise. As it stands, M$ is not shoving Windoze down anybody's throat. You *always* have a choice. You dont like it, dont buy it. You dont want it, return it. You dont agree with them use something /else/. I never intended that this thread discussed any philosophical differences that FSF has with M$. Yeah I hate them to the core but that doesn't mean I keep bashing Windoze at each and every opportunity that I get. Windoze bashers have little credibility with users if you're trying to show them the world of Linux. Linux has its own identity. Linux is not successful because Windoze is BAD. Its successful because IT IS GOOD. Linux should NOT be considered the best amongst the worst. Its should simply be the best in absolute terms. -- Dinesh A.
