That is so wrong on so many levels I'm surprised you even typed it.
Hmmm adictive drugs for free=no demand, yup that surely computes. ;-)

And oddly NO version of MSDOS or Windows is *FREE*

How nice of them, but you forgot they come with a license
agreement you agree to only run them on Apple hardware.

for the Amiga anyway.
