MsWin GCC is negative 7. GCC is to be removed from MSWin, since it is overall negative. Where did I go wrong? Or what is the reason for power users being negative? Power users are advanced users... people that can switch operating systems. Their bundled OS with their computer can be changed - they are advanced enough to not fear changing bundled OS. So.... is it negative for power users to run GCC.. because they should be running a free OS since they know they can install one? i.e. they are abusing their GCC since they are using windows even though they know they can run an OS like gNewSense? Since RMS you said that the negative effect is power users - I'm saying that since all MsWin GCC users are power users, then MsWin GCC users are all affecting FSF negatively. Because the logic deduction is that power users are affecting GNU negatively.. so if compiler users are power users.. then the logic is that all GCC windows compiler folks are negative.. and gcc needs to be removed? Where am I wrong or what am I not seeing that you see? Why do you think power users are negatively affecting GNU, for example?
