Most of us that work in the IT industry have been around for a long time. We started out in our parents basement writing code in some BASIC environment, ussually Commodore BASIC or QBASIC. Do you remember how thrilling it was? Your first program and it was something extremely basic but the point was it worked. Some of us got hooked right away and kept trying to solve problems and added more and more pushing the capabilities of whatever language we used. As we got older the environments progressed and the programming tools progressed and got more complicated.

Question :
----------
What's the best way to stop the Microsoft hegemony and monopole over operating systems in the world ?
An answer :
-----------
By making free software (free as in free speech) not free (free as in free beer) for Windows users.
Many Windows users say, "I only have to pay Windows, because there is thousands of freeware (so they call free software) downloadable at free of charge" :-(
