I'm willing to send anyone a copy for the cost of the media.
You want competition for Microsoft, fine, buy one of these already existing US products. But selling out to the Chicoms and other foreign governments is all you're doing when you attack our already existing and superior products in favor of these foreigners and their freeware like linux.

That's right, I even support IBM, when they're not giving their technology away to foreign governments with nothing in return. Obviously, I support ANY American company when they protect their i.e. US intellectual property. You and your buddies would rather them just give it all away, for nothing. Or you'd rather steal it or trespass their patents, then deny, all in the name of trashing Microsoft and the other products above.
....Well, that and get some use out of an old 486 laptop that has Windoze 95 on it. The thing is worthless and unsupported, and my UNIX experience tells me I'll get much better performance out of it.
Do you use knoppix much? I've got some predictable tech questions in a couple of days. I want to play with it for a while and get a feel of it, and see what I can figure out. I think I'm lacking the root password, though.
