Windows is Free
Windows is Free. An excellent, albeit lengthy, write-up on Windows vs. Linux vs. Mac.

This is the personal site/blog/experiment of Chris Harrison, a web designer living, working and playing in Augusta, GA.
Change is afoot!
Please pardon the mess. I'm tightening things up on the design that have been bothering me for a while. I'm hoping that I can get things in shape within the next couple of days, at which point I may release the theme, or a variation of it at least.
IE support is low-priority right now, but will be coming in some fashion once I get happy with the design.

I just finished reading this article and linking it on my blog when I saw you had linked the same thing :). It really is a great article.
It’s quite good, and many of his arguments are well-stated. It’s not going to cause me to switch to Ubuntu - or Linux in general - any time soon, but for others it might be just enough to push them over the ledge.
Well, for me the most interesting thing about the article was the idea that Microsoft really has nothing to gain by curbing piracy.
But I think the writer is correct in that for many people, the incentive to steal software is greater than the incentive to pay the ridiculous amount of money charged for it.
