Based on what I've been seeing lately on this list, everyone always has something to SAY about Microsoft, but they don't offer any HELP to DO anything about the situation.
It's turning into something similar to a political debate, but it's all talk. Anybody can sit behind a keyboard and whine about the ways they have been screwed in the past from other proprietary companies, but they don't help fix the problem. Ubuntu has the largest community of all Linux distributions. If all we do is talk, we're no better than those other companies that lock you into their product. Even if you do something minor like fixing a spelling mistake in documentation or something simple, you have provided to the community. There's so much that needs to be done as well as there's so much that people can come up with to make this the best free product in the world. It's up to you now to take the ball and run with it. Are we going to talk about the other companies and be lemmings of corporate brainwashing or are we going to something about it?
