1) Using proprietary software to build scientific applications (like in my case) is just wrong. You never know what there might be happening "under the hood". And you are bound to licenses and EULAS that are designed to avoid any kind of responsability of the software maker.
2) There is a Delphi personal edition. It's being sold for usd 100. I'm not going to pay usd 100 for a software license that tells me what can o can't do with it. I rather donate that money to an free software project or a local charity. 3) Everytime I have to boot on Windows I feel like a little part of me dies. Everytime time Windows hags that little part goes to Hell and says "hi" to Bill Gates.
