So would that mean that users of Windows/Macs, etc... are "free" to choose what they want to run as well? Or are they mind numbed robots?
Sure they can pick what they want.
1) Pull out wallet 2) Pay the price 3) Put up with the problems
I surely put up with more problems on my Linux boxes than I do with my Mac. And no one I'm aware of is giving away systems capable of serving as Linux desktop or server systems. Nor, in fact, is there any totally cost-free way of acquiring a Linux distribution.
4) Reboot, reboot, reboot ad nauseum
Bullshit. Macs are very reliable, stable and predictable and do better than Linux in certain application areas, such as graphics, publishing and media. True, the best-of-breed applications in some of these areas are far from cheap, but then, the best-of-breed applications are really only needed by professionals and serious students in professional fields I would not want to surrender either Linux or the Mac. Windows can go to hell, of course. RRS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
