Hi Linuxers and Unixers,

Reality is tough to admit isn't it? While Linux, and ones alike, OS is
loosing market Micrsoft is winning market... .NET has got a long way to go
before becoming the most powerful environment (for open source lovers try
ROTOR search on MSDN to download code for a typical C# compiler). While you
Linuxer talk about cheap labor I wonder how the hack you guys pay rent... I
work as a consultant and a developer I choose at my own discretion to share
code with the programming community and write code in Java's J2EE (written
the [among the] first CHAT room back in the days for JUNO) and in C# in the
.NET environment. I get paid for what I do.. I do not think a company would
like to redistribute their software for free in order to benefit from it and
to pay me or other developers... Code can be decompiled eith in PERL, JAVA,
or in managed .NET environment hence you got to Obfuscate it... I can only
imagine a think about guys like you guys loving so much Linux... You believe
it will one day help you achieve a great career getting everything for free
and redistributing everything you do for free... If you want to talk FREE you
might want to consider making rules for survival... If you like living like a
homeless junky and are happy with you *silly* lifestyle trying to act smarter
than a highly paid engineer like myself developing for high-tech companies in
C# then go be happy with your lifestyle...

Reality is you want to be like me a normal guy that can give a damn about OS
but rather care about how you can improve it by applying work and
contributing to its growth and of course getting paid for it while getting
recongnition.... I honestly respect success story of Bill Gates and others
like himself including Oracle's Larry Ellison for their achievements in
corporate America... THey have created our jobs and have helped millions....
Are you telling us that Linux is going to help millions as Micrsoft did?
