You have have often asserted that NOBODY is using Linux. And then you assert that Linux users are somehow notorious software pirates.
Well, I have been using desktop Linux since 1999, and I use both free (both commercial and GPL) and nonfree commercial software on my home and business systems. I have the appropriate licenses for all of my non free software.
Also since 1999, I have operated a computer service business. I have NEVER encountered a Linux user during that time who has had much interest in pirated software. I HAVE encountered numerous Windows users who notoriously (they brag about it) share their commercial software with their friends, 'borrow' copies from 'the office', can't find their Windows disk because they 'loaned it to a friend' and it was never returned, etc. They come into my store all the time to beg me to 'just burn them a copy'.
As DonnieBoy has noted, you are extremely ignorant ... perhaps, or perhaps you are just trolling along with malicious off topic posts in order to smear Linux and its users. But you are not fooling anybody. I would suspect that even some of the more fair minded Microsoft advocates detest your posts. They are not a very good advertisement for MS or commercial software in general. - Posted by: George Mitchell Posted on: 11/04/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
