Just a thought:
Is this kind of thing going to become more and more of a problem as Linux gets
more popular? I mean software that was once free, is no longer? I see Linux
boxes lining shelves at computer and book stores. I read about some Linux
oriented software outfit in the business section of the newspaper on a regular
basis now. The times, they are a changin'. Looks like Bill and co. have
inadvertently given Linux a huge boost. No?
