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?
