To the second statement, ever tried to switch from delphi to Lazarus or from Visual studio to GCC? It's like switching from Ferrari to Lada. Don't get me wrong, I like Linux too, I have an ubuntu and a Debian machine but I'm tired of people always saying that MS is evil. They are not evil, they give jobs to more people than Linux will ever do and their only obligation is to make money and contribute to the global economy, but that's probably something a linux enthusiast doesn't understand. @ Mattia : Do you think that Linux and the opensource community is the only source of freeware applications, if we take the global application share we can see that most freeware applications from small developers are built for windows.

This will destroy many peoples lives." yes, like linux and all the software that run on it? lol. "A switch of marketshare would mean a bankruptcy for thousands of hard working software developers and would cost the big corporations billions of dollars to conform to modern standards" This is FUD. In any case, if a software house or developer has tied up itself to one OS it's its problem. Many other will gain more with more platform on the market. Surely MS will loose money, but I guess it should be not so bad. “Small programmers and hobbyist that delivered us many useful freeware applications in the past will disappear and face bankruptcy.
