and thruthfuly.. the OS *should* be free.. the OS is the core of the
machine.. it's what make it work... now if someone want to stick a 5 dollar
add-on to it to enhance something, more power to them.. I don't really want to
see that mainstream under linux, but whos to say linux devels should'nt get a
little compensation for all the hard work they put into their products to..
prducts like SBBS. and truthfully this is where i See win 10 going.. free OS,
with addons for feature enhancments. Kinda like the andriod app store. I was
happy to pay 5 bucks for ISSTracker to use on all my android and linux devices
so I can track the ISS and amateur satellites.
