why worry? just migrate to linux
Well I migrated quite a long time back. It's time we educated more people about the perils of non-free software.
so how many people who compile gcc code on vista on this list has your post educated?
I dont compile code on vista, but it has educated me. It is a good article. This list is not just a sob corner to come cry GNU/Linux problems for newbees. It's for enthusiasts who love it and want to learn more about it. But this does not mean GNU/Linux lives isolated. GNU/Linux enthusiasts are also computing enthusiasts (mostly), and as one such I sure found such information relevant. There is loads of open software which runs on windows, if you dont know. This is not about GNU/Linux vs. Windows. This is about all these around and we with our choice and our reasons for choosing one over the other.
The post was not that much way off OT. Nearer than sandwich recommendations. This is a community of humans dude - enjoy, dont troll.
