Making and distributing a FOSS operating system that works better
than its proprietary rivals is an extreme enough goal for me to
support. The idea that this isn't particularly extreme today is
just a testament to how successful it has been so far - the concept
used to be laughable. There is still a long way to go.
I don't feel the need to take it to the next level by demonising
Microsoft or any other company, and I would question the value of
doing so.
Cheers,
Andy
