14. Look, I do understand the open source vs. closed source application and operating system issue.
I'm a mathematics dropout who worked in the programming and web tech support industry for many years only to eventually burn out. I appreciate the value of a really free operating system that provides more variety or "flavors" and certitude of command with much fewer WTF? incidents. I love a command based systems where things are done with rigid obedience.

I just kind of like XP, ans I was a '98 supporter before then. I use my system for entertainment and media, internet access, and little else. PC's just have a bigger footprint for this kind of thing.
