Hi all - could I make a tiny observation about all the "...but you are missing the point..." posts - its actually about choice - not whether one OS is 'better' than the other. If I choose to use Windows for something or other and MacOSX for something or other else, then why would anyone else need to take pseudo-moral umbrage?
Choice is what the free market is all about. Now I have the choice, and can even have the choice as to whether I exercise my choice.
So my meta-choice is what protects me from technological slavery and monopoly. I don't 'need' to or 'have' to or 'am required to' any more, I can choose to.
Cheers
