so your paying about 300 to 400 notes for a operating system?

I don't know about you, but thats a rip of.

I like the Unix ish shell, but if I wanted a stable unix ish operating system, I can down load one.

just does not make sense to me.

I am in Brenford, working with EMC this week, and I had a confo with some of the people over a coffee regarding this subject and they agree.
