    You know, OSS/GCC doesn't make any friends when self-proclaimed
'advocates' insult people that, although they may not advocate M$ products,
still have to live in the real world. In case you haven't gotten out of the
datacenter lately, that boils down to M$ owning more than 90% of OS market
(like it or not).
   I am strong advocate of OSS and GCC. I have written articles on it, and
have advocated it's use for some time now. I have used it at work and in my
home. I ran a BBS back in the 80s that was frequented by many of the people
that are now well known in free software advocacy. I have also contributed
to OSS projects. None of this means that I think WinXX is invalid. On the
contrary, Windows is very 'valid', and OSS/GPL needs to work that much
harder than Bill Gates to succeed. This includes being pleasant to people
that think otherwise, as well as not to alienate like-thinkers. As it
stands, I think it might be better for OSS/GPL advocacy to have people like
you on Bill G's side.
