And when will the socialist “free software for the masses” crowd start screaming that tech support should be “free for everyone”

With advance apologies to Freeper Linux supporters, I have worked with a lot of Linux zealot wingnuts, and they have usually been democrats too.

And they could not see the hypocrisy of working on their pet Linux ‘free’ projects while getting paid by someone else.

So--You paint an entire community with the same broad brush based on your anecdotal experiences?

Hmm--I'll try that:

Microsoft supports democrats and abortion on demand. All Windows developers must support those causes, too. They just can't see the hypocrisy in developing for a leftist organization while claiming to be conservative.

I love it when people dont understand free software. Nothing is free.

My friend is Apache. That is free, does anyone really think you get free servers? The problem is collaboration is where the money is. If you dont connect your dont succeed. To many software companies dont get it. Its all moving to fast to think you do it yourself.

Red Hat and Microsoft are not to far apart. They both have their models but separation is degree.
