More proof there's no need for a foreign clone, use the American originals instead.

And send my money to a company that sells out to the Chicoms and whose owner forwards my money to the UN Population Fund so they can help China forcibly abort babies?

No thanks.

Linux is a foreign copy of Unix, not Windows. Use Unix I said, but you're too addicted to your foreign clone obviously.

Linux has no nationality. It is maintained by people from many countries, a majority of which are Americans.

While it started out life as a clone of Minix, it bears no likeness to it now (except where necessary for operation). Much like how American autos were once a clone of Mr. Benz's machine.

It's source is available to everyone, including American small businesses, unlike the source to your master's product, which is only available to those who can afford it and to those who's politics Bill agrees with.
