Look, we all understand that you are a open source fan, we all understand you want everyone to throw away their current investment and go to open source, but the fact is most people simply have no use for it.

Now you can rant until h*ll freezes over but you are not going to force anyone to use it. It's just that simple.

I don't understand you constant and never endding tirade against a product (Windows) that 90% or more of the world has accepted and CHOOSEN to be their OS. Honestly guy, all you do is come off as a zealot that can't open his eyes to what the rest of the world sees.
