No real need to respond to this. I too came from a proprietary s/w world,
and am not doctrinaire, but I have gradually been migrating toward FOSS
because frequently it is a better product. (Try getting a copy of Win XP
localized into Bambara.) Of course there is crap out there, but remember
Windows ME? No matter what you think, just stick around; the trend is not in
Microsoft's favor. Increasingly, the FOSS tail is wagging the MS dog.
