"Proprietary" sofware doesn't have to be bad, either, does it? :D :D :D ;)

Same here, as many window managers run low-performance for older machines, and many Desktop Enviroments are highly themeable and take up a lot of recources that lower machines won't have. That's why I'd never use an OS that didn't give a choice of UI.

Re-read my post, I never said a thing about software being proprietary. You must have made that up on your own. I said:

I don't think you know the difference between closed source, and proprietary. A lot of linux programs are closed source, but not proprietary. A lot of windows programs are open source and proprietary.

If you didn't mean "proprietary" then what difference between "open source" and "closed source" programs do you think makes closed source software more suitable for making money?
