[ILUG-BOM] Windoze Vs. GNU was (Why do we hate Windows)

[Kompalli SuryaPrakash]

Hi There,
    Had written one mail earlier but just wanted to add...
See yaar, win might be gr8 and cheap for someone who wants to just use
it for normal home usage - Email, Internet, and for the very affluent,
MS Office -(Staroffice for many :) ) After that wot?? For a student -
doing any development work on the win platform is a very costly (hence
difficult) proposition.. Except for Jdk, and some selected packages -
everything else remotely related to development costs the heaven... And
look at the mentality of MS - One has to pay money to even copy their
help files - I believe even MSDN, which is a glorified help file... Also
cant be re-distributed...
Now - this (mentality), I believe is wot TRULY Irritates us all....
Bye,
SP
PS - I am not botherd by the money BG has - I am botherd by how he
earned it.
