What is worth to add is the reason why OS threatens M$ just by creating 'tendencies of consumption'. It all comes from a commercially badly chosen starting path:

At the begining, M$ said that their software was sort of freeware for home users, because their target was the big companies using it. But as time passed, they started restricting more and more its 'popular use', and even the hints that they provided for other companies to build good working software inside their operating system.

They now, trust that they are the only ones that can decide the future of PC users. They need to base on their resources, promotions and not in what is required. This is the end of creative software. They are boring.

They have forgoten what is the mother of all invention. And OS is just what people needs. They reflect what we are missing. So, these times, are going to benefit just LINUX, because of its only OS nature.

Landlords production is only eaten by landlords...
Wherever I lay my KNOPPIX disk, a new FREE LINUX nation could be established

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
