I have used both free and $$$ software on both windows and linux, and I have to say that most "free" software sucks, it is generally broken and you never get support. Working with linux as a free system is way more time consuming than windows, windows was built for ease of use. I agree that linux is more stable in some cases but windows is stable enough for my needs. I think too many people are clouded by the media and what everyone else thinks. I find that commercial software is much better supported and I don't think it has as many security holes.
In the "Matrix" Humans already do most of the work for determinine the enviroment by making assumptions. We assume there is a back to the wall, even if we don't see it... therefore computers would just have to take what we know are limits are and emulate that in our brains. so each human brain would actually be part of the computer.
