Ok ! Next question your reply leads us to is how many of the literaly
thousands of programs available for W95 have been ported to run under
GNU/Linux. Fortunatly POV-Ray has been but are there any others
of it's type that have been ? I also believe, and I might be mistaken,
that I heard linux is a freeware operating system. If this is the case there
is no commercial support for it and the creators of the program are
under no obligation to either support it or develop it any further than
they have already. What happens when the technology of computors
change and your current computer harware dies/becomes obsolete,
who do you think is going to be in a better position to keep up with
these changes. MicroSoft or the linux developers ? Don't get me wrong
here as I am not trying to start a flame war, it's just that I believe even
with the drawbacks of the MS OS the overwhelmingly availability
of software and number of end users, climbing on a different bus at
this time seems a little reckless.
