When I was on Windows, I didn’t really care if people pirated MS software or not. Now that I am on Ubuntu, I do care. Every user pirating Windows or something else is one user NOT using Free/Libre alternatives. Enlighten them!

I came from the other side of the fence, actually. I started looking for free software alternatives on windows XP and found, among other things, snapfiles.com and sourceforge which had everything I ever needed. This includes image editing, sound editing and video editing which I do a lot of.

In response to the question above, MS tie most manufacturers into shipping with MS, its used in businesses and schools. You MUST learn Windows to get on at school and find a devent job afterwards. Having learned Windows, most people don’t want to duplicate their efforts learning something else.

Also the Gimp is nowhere near as good as Windoze apps…. Open Office is not as usable as MS Office….. so for many people its a step backwards, and, most home users don’t pay for this stuff, they get it off the torrents / friends, so cost is not an issue, and cracks are not nearly as much hassle as a previous commenter suggests.

Piracy has significantly helped MS retain its market share. If people were really forced to fork out full price for this stuff then there would definitaly be more linux users out there.

As for the freedom thing, its only software… I use Windows and Linux in equal measure and have to say I don’t feel any more “freedom” when I’m using Linux then when I’m using Windows, they are both “tools” with respective strengths and weaknesses.

IMO the political ravings of OS enthusiasts merely re-enforces the view of the average windoze user that Linux is some ‘scary left field’ technology and puts them off using it.

If the truth be told, I think a lot of OS users like the fact that it is’nt main stream and, deep down want to keep it that way cos the like the ‘scene’, like being in the “1%”, like being ‘different’.

Ive even heard people criticising Ubuntu for being too easy, a “kiddies distribution”. Making Linux accessible to the masses is not what a lot of Linux users want, a strange state of affairs!!!

Personally I love Ubuntu having used Debian for some time on a server, its nice to have something so similar, and hassle free on my desktop….
