    Yeah one of the Apple exec once said something along the lines of “you can spend your whole life dicking around with Linux and never really understand computers”

    I think about this a lot. Using Linux is sort of a bipolar love/hate relationship.

        “And you pay for everything you do.”

        I dunno I don’t feel like this applies to just Windows or Mac when you consider Red Hat’s acquisition. Windows is popular because of the powerful tools it provides to manage businesses and it goes it well.

        Shit on Microsoft all you want but the systems work well for businesses. I would charge others too if my product was popular and did what others needed it to do.

        Linux isn’t immune to be used to being made to make money and I really think the Linux community forgets that money talks. Get it in enough businesses and their is potential for someone to charge.
