So much corporate bootlicking in this thread. People don't seem to know what GNU and Linux actually stand for and the importance of the free software movement, all they see is a fancy Windows alternative where they can run the same stupid proprietary programs and in the end contribute to the loss of software freedom just as much as a useless Microsoft consumer. People here are even openly hostile to GNU despite it being possibly the most important component in ensuring that free software remains free. I feel like our operating systems are being hijacked by little children with no responsibility for which GNU/Linux only serves mundane, corporately induced needs, and they don't see the political and idealistic dimension at all.
