Here's the quote (from www.nytimes.com)

Down the aisle from the Nolfes, for instance, Jack Price, 43, browsed the software boxes
marked Linux, a competing operating system to Microsoft's Windows, which runs on 90
percent of the world's personal computers. He said he used Windows, but had heard Linux,
which cost about $25 compared to $100 for Windows, crashed less often.

"We need more competition," said Price, an administrator at California's environmental agency.
"I've heard that a lot of the programs they have they've bought or stolen from others. I'm voting
with my dollars here."
