This is exactly what happened to me in Bulgaria - I got caught up in a discussion regarding open and closed Operating Systems and they kept telling me that the free choices didn't appear attractive because they didn't have a price. Back then (like 6 years ago), I thought this was some kind of post-communistic overreaction, but reading the same argument here makes me doubt that. Nobody wanted to follow my point that price and use are two entirely different concepts.
