[Linux-aus] Windows Is Free, The impact of pirated software on free software

[Andrew Pam]

"A recent column on Zdnet, by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, discussed the 
reasons why people won't change from a retail operating system to a free 
one. The implication is that Linux can't even give away their software.

That sounds pretty dire. Windows retails for around 200 US dollars, give 
or take depending on which version and where you buy. If the above 
statement by Mr Kingsley-Hughes was true, it means that Linux is so bad 
that people would gladly pay 200 dollars to avoid it. Do users really 
think Linux is that lame?"
