- From windows to Linux. Was there a choice?
,----[ Quote ]
| Currently I think that, until Linux came along,
| the normal pc user didn't have a choice in
| operating systems. They had windows and whether
| they liked it or not they were stuck with it.
| Now that Linux has evolved into a useful
| package which anybody can use, people do have a
| viable choice and they are choosing it.
|
| Tell us. Do you use windows only because you
| didn't think you had a choice? Now that you
| have a choice and you can choose to use Linux,
| BSD or windows, has that available choice
| effected your decision? Do you think
| differently about your operating system now
| that you know there are alternatives?

| Be sure Microsoft will put up a fight, because it will:
|
| 1. Make clear to the customer what he pays for and how much he pays for
| it;
| 2. Make it virtually impossible to impose its terms to hardware
| manufacturers;
| 3. Give customers a real alternative, backed by a major company;
| 4. Expose the vulnerability of its business model in the 21st century to
| the shareholders in a way that cannot be misunderstood;
| 5. Create a dangerous precedent - if here, why not in the US?
