This whole set of arguments about who is cooler is about to make me puke, and for my money further off task and much more wasteful of bandwidth as the 'spam' the guy from photodex got his ass toasted for posting.......what are we here, gang, a FAN CLUB???? I personally want every program in the known universe ported to Linux so I can CHOOSE what to put into my computer. I like having lots of CHOICE. . Predatory companies like Micro$haft will NOT get any more of my money and the ones who give even the minimum back aka "free for personal use" will. It would be nice if every company in the world opened their source code but the fact is most will go out of business before giving up, and I quote "the family jewels". I used to do a lot of print layout - industrial grade desktop publishing - really heavy production work.....Emacs would not have worked and speaking for myself, I would have gladly paid 3 times the windows price for Quark Xpress for Linux. Hell I'd pay 10 times right now, because the TIME it would save me is worth so much more than the cash........ Well, I have my flame retardant truss on, so get out those bic lighters and go at it....
