[Coco] RE: [Color Computer] Linux a cousin to OS-9

[Basil Fitze]

You can kiss BG boots as far as I care but the truth is that if MS made 
MS Office for Linux you would say good buy to Windows that is the only 
thing that is hold back the implantation of Linux on the Desktop.  

IF your a MS lackey fine but some people have imagination and don't look 
at the '$' as a reason to do everything.  Open source works for many 
especially nations that can't afford MS.  Or the people who don't like 
MS, but some people call them names etc...  Windows is closed and just 
try to get new things into  while Linux is open to all as I mentioned 
before. 

Windows has not been a help to the Tech world its been a hindrance 
Windows has really not changed all that much and why MS monopolized the 
market and forced computer manufacturer to build with Windows 
pre-installed, why because they  killed any possible competition and 
would kill Linux if not for open source.  I can install a copy of Linux 
on as many computers as I want with no legal issues try that with Windows. 

That is the real issue here and that is money.  With something like 
Linux it hinders MS's monopoly.  I use Windows XP Home and Linux on a 
dual boot system I usally only go to Windows to use a MS program but for 
most of the time I use Linux  and that is usally MS Office since not all 
Office programs will encode Word files 100% and that is it.  If I could 
but MS Office for Linux I would perge
