I think this is a better socio-economic metaphor... Asking Joe Average to only use Linux and OSS is as realistic as asking Americans to only buy american-made products and items that are "Made In The USA".
Many people feel that these are the right, healthy, responsible things to do on many levels, but the norms of buying global products (@ WalMart, etc) and using MS software are too entrenched and frustrating for most people to work around.

Please tell me you're not installing a cirrus chute on a Stitts!
I've been thinking about building a Zodiac and putting a chute on it, but that's a hell of a lot different from a Stitts.
(See http://www.skyshops.org/buildz7days.htm for the obvious reason why I'm considering the Zodiac. )
