Having used Linux as much as I have, and having learned as much as I have from using it, I can honestly say that it is the only piece of software I'd be willing to pay $400 Cdn for. [Note: WinNT server 5 licence boxes on local shelves are $1169 Cdn. = about a truck load of bread of both kinds.]
I'm one of those silly honest people that are willing to pay a reasonable amount for useful software. I've not found any useful Win software that is also reasonably priced.
P.S. One Win software package that interests me is over $10,000 per license. Needless to say, I'm not _that_ interested!
