Linux is a choice, because it's not an MS os.  It's different than an
MS os.  How would it be a choice if it were the same?  Oh, you mean it
would be just like an MS os and Ms apps, only free?  Dream on.

If users want Linux to be like MSWin, they might consider pooling
their resources and offering Linux programmers salaries, stock
options, benefits, and a 401K, while they spend several years cloning
MS Office.

Of course, you'd want to recoup your investment...
