Just a few questions then:
	- Why is it so easy to use gcc and emacs from Windows XP

	  without ever having to even know about gNewSense ? I'd

	  lie if I said I knew gNewSense before Stallman came to

	  troll here, and I've been working with people who make

	  a great use of gcc and emacs on Windows. Can't this be

	  seen as a severe drawback ?
	- What makes you think you are smarter than anybody just

	  because you don't install proprietary software ?

	  My parents are using Windows XP and know nothing about

	  Linux/Unix, however I think they are smarter than you,

	  at least they realize that what is best for them isn't

	  best for me and vice versa. I'd be a real idiot to try

	  and impose my choices on them. Do you see what I mean?
