Re: Viva le Same! Linux

[Arthur Griffith <arthur -at- belugalake -dot- com>]

I keep hearing these arguments from rabid folks on one side or the other 
as if the only possible scenario is for the world to support a single 
operating system monopoly. Why? There is room enough, and computing 
chores enough, for several operating systems to exist. If there is one 
you don't like, don't use it. I worked on proprietary systems on 
mainframes and minis until the late 1980s, when I got involved with 
UNIX. I now use Linux for all my work. I don't dislike Windows, it has 
just never been relevant. I do everything I need with Linux today, but 
things will certainly change and I will probably be using something else 
in a few years. It could be Windows, I don't know.

There is nothing inherently evil about proprietary software nor open 
source software. The two can co-exist nicely as long as the copyrights 
are honored on both sides.
