Get real
"I think however the evil is overrated."

Then you know nothing about the conflict that is going on.

"And I'm sorry, no OS is free, even Linux. It requires installation and support over the life of the computer its running, which like any software far exceeds the inital cost."

Can you PROVE this? Do you really think that this will be the case in the future? In lesss than three years there will be just as many linux admins as MCSEs. THEN linux support will be an everyday phenomenon and the freeness of the OS will be realized. Then M$ will have to sell Windows for 5$ or get lost.
