LINUX is by far MUCH better than Windows! It is a very stable OS Just because most
windows users cant grasp the concept of the command prompt shows how Windows makes
users Ignorant to the true power they can have over their systems. But LINUX isnt
only command prompt it also has a GUI for those who are use to the windows style.
You are totaly right when you say that MS has the right to protect thier Product
anyway they see fit if you dont like what they are doing switch to a different OS..you
have quite a few to choose from..Linux,BEos,chaos,QNX,Eros,morphOS,ReactOS,and many
many more....I am not a windows basher as I still use windows myself along with Linux..
