“I am typing these words into a computer running Linux, using a
program called StarOffice 5.1 that has at least as much
functionality as Microsoft Office 2000 running on Windows 98.
“There is no obvious way for me to tell that Linux, instead of
Windows, is the operating system I’m running right now. I hit the
keys and characters appear on the screen. I hit “save as” and my
file is saved, in this case as HTML.
“Simple. Same as Windows. So, aside from the fact that
StarOffice is free for personal use and Microsoft Office 2000 costs
a bundle, does it really make any difference which operating system
or which software package I use? Of course not. And a whole lot of
people are starting to figure this out.”
