Why a Devout Capitalist Loves Free Software
,----[ Quote ]
| When I first began using Linux as my primary operating system, I did so to try to
| solve some problems I was having with Microsoft Windows. My computer had begun to
| feel like it
| was not under my control. Updates were being downloaded and installed during
| inopportune times and they were requiring me to completely shut down my computer
| nearly every time,
| or nagging me to do it anyway. I was running anti-virus software that was buggy
| and bloated and slowing down my computer. In order to maintain all of the recent security
| updates, I had to literally hand over the contents of my hard drive to Microsoft on
| a regular basis to prove that I had not hacked Windows (Windows Genuine Advantage). My
| music, videos and even the font files on my computer were told what they could do
| by Microsoftâs DRM efforts. Being a lover of liberty and a bit of a security freak, I was
| rubbed the wrong way with many of the issues that Microsoft had taught me I
| just had to live with.
