Since 1998, the image of “Software Wars” has accurately
described the situation in the world of personal computer software.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and this image serves as a
powerful tool for Linux advocacy, pictorially showing the events in
the competition for world domination between proprietary and free
(open source) software.
You will be touched by it, and
appreciate its humor.

The image has just been updated to reflect the latest events. It

Have fun and enjoy!
