I'll Use Linux When $App Magically Appears

| Vote with your wallet. Every vote for 
| Microsoft is a vote against FOSS. The 
| poster child for this is Linux OEM PCs-- 
| often the comparable Windows PC is the same 
| price or cheaper, or has more and better 
| hardware. Saving a few bucks in the short 
| term pushes a truly competitive computer 
| marketplace that much farther into the 
| future. Let vendors know when they lost a 
| sale because of this sort of tricksiness. 
| Independent Linux OEM vendors are good to 
| buy from because they don't have to dance 
| the razor's edge of trying to please both 
| Microsoft and their actual paying 
| customers.
| 
| It's not always easy to balance immediate 
| needs against longer-term goals. But as the 
| saying goes, "A journey of a thousand miles 
| begins with a single step." Any progress is 
| better than no progress.

| Linux opens a hole new world of freedom that Microsoft does not want you to
| see or even know about. But the tide is turning! Tom-Tom and Linux won the
| suit over Microsoft. The Linux community was more than ready and MS knew it!
