I know you are a big proponent of Microsoft on these threads, and that's fine. Criticize Linux all you want--it can handle itself. But resorting to attack of the license is somewhat underhanded, and bears no point of the quality of Linux itself.

That's all he has left. Being a shill for Micro$oft is getting harder and harder, and when major corporations start looking at the bottom line, and the impact the Micro$oft merry-go-round software development has on it... it will only get harder.

Think about it CEO's, CFO's, CTO's... the millions of dollars in savings to your bottom line by dropping M$ Windows/Bloatware Orafice etc... THe ability to hang onto your hardware investement longer because there's no pressure on your software to constantly change everything and add more bloat just to keep the competetors at bay, and hold on to a monopoly. Not only that; add the ability to make changes to said software to fit YOUR NEEDS, not the needs of Micro$oft.

Nice orthogonal attack. Didn't have the balls to confront me directly.
