Linux Journal: A Healthy, Helpful Epidemic…

“Why are we about negative on Windoze XP? This morning
I received e-mail from an friend who uses MS Windows. His systems
had another crash and lost a lot of data. It made me realize that I
really like Windows XP with it’s new invasive licensing schemes.

My friend’s biggest problem was that he lost his pirated copy of
Adobe Photoshop. Without really thinking about all the
ramifications, I suggested he get the GIMP instead–because it was
free.

Next I received e-mail from a friend in Costa Rica who works for
the government. A co-worker sent him a copy of a message from a
Microsoft person suggesting that the number of licenses they had
didn’t match their number of users, and it needed to be addressed.
This request offers motivation to decrease the number of users of
Microsoft software there.”
