| Of course, Mac is also a superior option to Microsoft if you
| are only considering technical measures and the user experience.
| However, unfortunately, it is not an OS that offers alot more
| freedom than Microsoft does. If you want to truly cut the
| chase with unfair restrictions and DRM, your only choice is
| Free Software and GNU/Linux. Funny (but cool) thing though,
| under that name there is a whole sea of choices, because
| that is what freedom makes, diversity, innovation and user
| control rather than monopoly, stagnation and top down
| central control.
|
| Maybe the recent moves by Microsoft will motivate you as
| well to finally make the leap to freedom, and take control!
