- The AOLamer is regretting it, either that or it's a troll, which would
- make you a billygoat for responding. Anyways, Winblows anything is
- overpriced crap. Have you ever thought that someone could be priced out
- of the software market? Consider the prices of the apps. How about
- CorelDRAW! as an example. Ouch. How about that Visual BASIC, when a 95
- version comes out? The old version for that matter, uncrippled?
- How about M$ Office?
-
- Some of the competing alternatives to these products aren't cheap either.
- On top of that, server stuff for LANs is prohibitively costly, except for
- the Linux. Novell Netware, uncrippled for a small LAN is still $500 or
- so, and NT with the QSL package is over a grand. Is it any wonder small
- businesses use Novell?
-
- My whole point is that commercial software is getting too expensive. That
- is why I use Linux.
