Let me say that again for those of you that missed it - it has been
months since I used Microsoft. I consider myself to have "made the
switch." Not out of costs reasons - I can afford to buy Microsoft's
software and I don't think it is unreasonably priced. Not for
philosophical reasons - I don't particularly like their business
tactics, but I like a government interfering with free commerce even
less. I didn't switch because of the BSOD. Since Windows 2000 this
hasn't been an issue for me (I still prefer 2000 over XP, but my
video card in my laptop needs XP in a bad way, ie BSOD is still
there). I didn't switch because I want everything free - I'll pay
for a good product and Open Source programmers should expect to be
paid too (see the Kroupware project for a good example). I switched
because it worked BETTER and made me more PRODUCTIVE.
Cheers; Leon
