Why would *anybody* shell out their hard-earned, after-tax money, for operating systems software???

I mean, this stuff has been available for free for a decade and a half now, and it's not like it will balance your chequebook or store your recipes any better if you pay money for it!!

Solitare is just as boring whether it has cloudy sheep hills in the background or a cool muddy bird skeleton!

And office software runs on it whether it cost money or not, and heck.. even the office software can be legally free.

Bizarre..

I mean, sure, corporations are stupid with money for this kind of stuff, but at least with them it's pre-tax deductions, not after tax like with real people.

But if you've got money to burn.. well, go for it I suppose.
