[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5372794"] There are no "free alternatives" to Windows. If you think this then I question your unerstanding of operating systems. Those OSs are hugely different, some of them much more incredibly complex, with poor user interfaces, along with most of them being very buggy and lacking hardware and software support. No, there is NOTHING on the market that is an equivicoble "free" alternative to Windows. Agreed, though I think they could "lock down" the propritary rights of their system, should they choose to and quash, or demand tribute, from people like Paizo who want to make D20-based games. I disagree, I don't think outsourcing their stuff is going to help them. Why? Simply because that makes them dependant on others, and should those others do something WotC doesn't approve of, WotC may lack the control to override them. [/QUOTE]
