I think this will make people say goodbye to windows and hello to linux. The majority of people only use the rubbish OS now because they can have it installed for free. Once Bill wanky starts making people actually pay for his wnkyy virus, then a huge amount of people will find it worth while to taste the difference, and realise that, although you may have to get your head round a CLI, that it isn't too bad afterall.

There are GUIs for Linux, you know.

That is true, but it does help to get your head around the CLI bit to get along with the blooming thing. Especially when trying to install apps. It helps a lot to know your way around the file system /blah/dude/etc/sausages 😛

I'm thinking of returning to a Mac next time anyways, way better hardware, one might say Created by an Intelligent Designer. I hear the next Mac desktop will be dubbed "Scripture" and the notebook, "The Good Book"
After MacOSX runs out, the next will be MacOS-ESP, no more typing, just think it.
But seriously folks, what's the lesson we are teaching the youngsters by making Bill Gates the Richest Man On Earth? That talent and innovation is the way to go? That the Free Market System assures that the best products will rise to the top while mediocre ones fade away? That "we're worth it"?
