I am over 35 and I am not just muddlin through. I got my own philosophy, and regarding software it's very similar to RMS one but that is not because I'm a disiple of anyone. I came to my own conclusions before I even knoe who RMS was. This is not like a religion or belief system, It's just simple logic. It is not a crusade, crusades where based credos and used to tame the mases. RMS is informing and educating people so they realize the can decide for themselves and they don't have to put up with the crap and control of software and media companies.
"I'm not looking for a philosophy; I'm looking for an OS."
Not everybody is like you, the philosophic part in choosing an OS is very important to me. And I think you do not realize that wihtout this philosophy GNU/Linux would not exist, your choice in OS would be very limited.
"Because, as a rule, you're supposed to capitalize the names of countries, nationalities, and specific languages."
Oh, in french, oups! , in French you capitalize the names of countries and nationalities but not specific languages. That's probably why he (and me) made the mistake.
That would be more that risky, it would be suicide.
Everybody in EU would start looking for altenatives to Windows and some of them would even find better solutions than what the had with windows.
And for those who would'nt find an avaiable replacement that meets their requiement there would be hundreads of companies in EU that pops up to provide them with one.
That would be very good for the EU , open source software and Apple and realy bad for Microsoft

I don't understand your problem, if you do not understand the first time just read twice...

Q: "What does RMS call Windows?"
A: Evil
"it offers a far better experience in terms of a complete GUI where I don't have to use the command line for 99%"
...
Try installing X, a desktop manager and some GUI config tools. It should at least bring that percentage down a couple of points

Well, go ahead and try, then maybe you will understand why RMS insist on the GNU/Linux name.

(For example, you didn't capitalize the second French!)
Why capitalize the second one?
