You have a choice. Period.

No I don't. I have the choice to use an Operating System where 50% of the applications I NEED for work, hobby, home do not work. I mean in 95% of all cases I cannot even buy the damn PC without Windows.

That's no choice.

You always have a choice. You can choose not to use those programs or use equivelant programs that run on linux. What applications you were talking about? I might be able to help you with your problem.

No, you don't always have a choice. Industry dictates program choice, not user.

Luckily, I'm in the design field so I was able to switch over to Macs a long time ago. Not that Apple doesn't piss me off on a continual basis but I can stand them a little more than I do Microsoft's software divisions.

Even then, I still need a Windows computer handy to code-check under IE. There's no way to be a professional in almost any field and not need access to a Microsoft-powered system now and again.
