Comment 1424 for bug 1

This is exactly what happens when we're enslaved under a monopoly...put
yourself back in the early 90's -mid 90's and you bought a mac...you'll say
the same thing: "WTF I cant install MS Office to my mac...my mac diskettes
does not work on a pc... sigh...

GNU/Linux specifically Ubuntu OS has grown and continually growing in a
rapid phase...We live a real world were there are optimists and
pessimists....there will be people who want proof to believe and be
spoonfed... there will also be people like those who bother to follow this
thread, support each other and build local ubuntu communities worldwide, and
will stick together and wait until the OS monopoly ends.
