I agree and congratulate you. I still run windows for games, however...
Linux still lacks in that respect.

Thus is the beauty of the open-source movement. Even if Bill _were_ to
make his own distro, any changes made to open-source code would *have* to
be released under the GPL... plus, you can't buy KDE, since it's GPL and
not "owned" by any one person.

But... (sorry, I have to do a bit of M$-bashing) I'd hate to see what Bill
and his marketing minions would do to the OS. I bet they could find a way
to make it as slow as windows... ;-)
