Speaking for myself, I'd say I'm using FreeBSD for more philosophical
reasons than anything. I'd say that the principle is to keep the code free
and the apps free. I don't know and/or don't care wether commercial
software is better, it's the principle behind it that sucks. This fits in
the illusion that nobody will get a job done if it's for free. D*mn it!
We're humans! We got to help each other, not profit of each other.

Maybe I'm going too far on this but I don't care. If I want commercial
software, I'll go see King Gates III. 

Boycott Micro$oft!
