Yep, you can live in such a world.. but why focus on being MS-free, when
you can instead focus on using the most appropriate tool for the job at
the most appropriate time?
I'm quite happy to be a Windows user (Vista Ultimate, mind you..)
I'm a web developer, and I develop using many open-source technologies
(PHP, MySQL, Apache, Firefox and Thunderbird), yet also use many
commercial tools (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Word, Excel, etc).
Yes, there are free alternatives to many of the tools I use daily, when
they aren't up to the task, in my opinion. Using them just to "stick it
to the man" would damage my business, and so instead I'd be the one
being "stuck"
Being dogmatic about "my OS is better than your OS" or "The only thing
Microsoft could make that didn't suck would be a vacuum cleaner" is
excessive, and kinda old now :)
Kind Regards,
David Roper
