Comment 340 for bug 1

That's the way to fix this. Most users don't even know what is free software. Most people think a computer comes with a monitor, a keyboard, and windows!

We must educate users. A good start is http://www.getgnulinux.org, which is written in such an easy language "that any windows users would be able to understand" :P

I totally agree to the main point "Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry". While people thank MS for what they have done with personal computers, I believe they have simply limited the natural evolution of technology, by creating abusive technological dependencies, by filing ridiculous software patents, by manipulating public standards, and by misinforming policy makers.

In the future, this kind of practices will be illegal. Today, people still think it is OK, the same way they thought slavery was OK back in the 1800s.
