Anyway this debate is pointless since we're talking about a hyporthectical situation that doesn't exist.
Agreed.
Oh yes it does, there's your bank and all the other businesses you rely on that use MS product, not to mention the rest of the economy you also depend on. :p
If Microsoft never existed, I'd still dislike non-free software and use free software so long as I can.
That depends on you point of view, so far the only company to cause any harm by means of proprietary software is Microsoft, for this reason I'm anit-MS but not anti-proprietary software. I do encourage sharing and I don't take the moral high ground an accuse anyone who chooses not to share of being evil.
Well I'm anti-Microsoft and anti-non-free software.
I'll use free software so long as it's not too huge (and I mean
huge) of an inconvenience (and sofar, it isn't).
I said "It's about right and wrong.", and what I probably should've said is "For me at least, it's about right and wrong.".
You always bring up Firefox and Opera, and it's getting very annoying. Sure, there might be areas where non-free software is better than the free alternatives, and there are also areas where free software kickes the balls of non-free software (most notably, apache).
