Editorial Misinterpreted. I think that is about the best word around to describe the reactions to my previous article. Whether it has been misinterpreted due to people only reading what they want to read, due to an unclear choice of words on my behalf, or other factors, I am going to try it again. I will try to explain my position, again. Now, more stable, the code has been rewritten from scratch!

With cars, choice is evident

If we compare Windows and Linux to cars, I think that the choice is evident.

The Windows car :

- Automatic (Wich reflect the ease of use).
- Sometimes stops without any reason.
- Goes at a correct speed.
- You can't do any internal modifications. (Good for ordinary people)
- Just a little bunch of models.

Price : about 300 $ (Add more cash for every ad-on)

The Linux car :

- Build on a better standard than the Windows one.
- Manual (I mean by that less facility of use at the begening).
- A choice of a lot of models.
- Goes at a correct speed.
- You can do any internal modification.

Price : Free !! (Add-on are free also)

So if you have the choice between two products that are comparable when we talk of quality but one of them is free, I think that the choice is evident.
