Oh come on! Get over it. I use open source stuff and proprietary. If you dont like proprietary, then you obviously don't have to use it, but people who develop software(like me), have a right to sell it. It has more of to do with capitalism if you can understand that. Listen, antitrust is all about the appearance of due diligence. The goal of a company is to grow as big as possible and gain as much of the market share as possible. Antitrust was designed to get more money out of rich companies.

IMO there is always a price to pay when you use proprietary software.

Please quote me properly, as I'm about to do now with your post:"OK use the freeware as you wish."As if I needed anyone's permission! And it's free AND open software we're talking about, not simply freeware which could include proprietary software, something I am against."Then, how many people use the Windows and Offices compare to the amount of linux users?"Did you read the U.S. vs. Microsoft Antitrust case I referenced in my post?

Microsoft may not a philanthropist. But it really make using computer easier. And sure, window and office are not cheap, but if you use a crack-version, you will still pay nothing. And actually a lot of people are doing that.

I find nothing convenient about Microsoft's products. I find them restricting and limiting, and I don't feel they offer me freedom, especially the freedom that Linux and free, open source software does.OK use the freeware as you wish.Nothing is stopping people from paying for FOSS or its development. How many websites run Linux and Apache? Check for yourself Then, how many people use the Windows and Offices compare to the amount of linux users?
