Those still using Microsoft Windows, may visit 
http://www.gnu.org/software/for-windows.html to study how free software 
works, and take the first step towards becoming full fledged free 
software users.

Here is a list of popular free software applications that run on 
Microsoft Windows--along with the proprietary applications they replace.

Developers who have been using non-free software will be thrilled to 
view, study, and use the sources listed at the above page.  Of course, 
this info is of no use to pathetic Microsoft agents, but it does give 
them the chance  start a new life as respectable and decent users of 
computers who may even become honourable by contributing code :)
