Dear iMav!!
I am very much surprised !! On seeing the number of posts against your data, I assume you are veteran here, so You naturally know this bits..
People in the OSS never come to fight for their ideology in tech forums .. they come here because they can exchange ideas with others, during the course of discussion they may have to run in to opposite views, then the views are discussed, but nobody force any kinds of fight among them..that is the Freedom of choice..! If Praka think Linux is better he has the freedom. and if you are Windows it is your choice.. then the matter end there.. but it is not always like this.. when people try to enforce their views on others the conflict arise.
There is no conflict in the DRM (Digital Restricted Management) related things.. Linux believe GPLv2 is sufficient where as RMS want GPLv3 only can eleminate DRM..So they have chosen two different ways to achieve the same goal !
If you think it is a fighting, let me tell you, that Windows users are also fighting against Vista ( ofcourse if I mentioned it you 'll be furious why I am dragging windows /)
Windows users are now asking why they have to upgrade to Vista by buyng new hardware at exorbitant prices..?
You may buy a car then after buy Petrol!!
But what if the Petrol pump man says, 'this petrol wouldn't run your car.. You should buy another car which we will recommend you'
So can I say the users of Windows are split in to two faction ? You 'll say ofcourse when time come they will change to Vista.. Yes it is the same thing in the GPLed ..When time come the two faction ( Linux and RMS) will see the reason and accepted solutions found..
with regards,
Vaithy
