I CLEARLY stated I was commenting on my personal experience, I know Freepers are Linux users too, but the majority I have met that have been Linux fanatics have been as I described.
Yes, its a GREAT business model if you can get other people to pay your workers to produce “free” software.
And for some reason Linux users go absolutely nuts when you badmouth their personal choice of operating systems- just like in real life where the Linux users I met on the job behaved the same way.
I use Mickeysoft (oops! did I call them that?) because I GET PAID WELL to use it. I have no personal interest other than getting paid by people who want my services.
If someone paid me to write them a DOS program tomorrow i would happily do it.
And I would not get mad at anyone who called DOS bad names. Its just that these "the other side sucks" arguments are too much fun, and you Linux guys tweak so easily.. ( so :P )
I usually don't care what people use--but I don't like being called a 'tard--or a hypocrite. :)
