Just a few questions then: - Why is it so easy to use gcc and emacs from Windows XP without ever having to even know about gNewSense ? I'd lie if I said I knew gNewSense before Stallman came to troll here, and I've been working with people who make a great use of gcc and emacs on Windows. Can't this be seen as a severe drawback ? - What makes you think you are smarter than anybody just because you don't install proprietary software ? My parents are using Windows XP and know nothing about Linux/Unix, however I think they are smarter than you, at least they realize that what is best for them isn't best for me and vice versa. I'd be a real idiot to try and impose my choices on them. Do you see what I mean? Gilles -- Gilles Chehade
