[QUOTE="Sphyre, post: 4183209, member: 55424"] I'll chime in and say "Why does WotC hate Linux users?" ...oh, wait. When I chose to use linux I knew my access to commercial software would be limited. That's why I dual boot. I know some people who triple boot. :) Seriously, my feelings are not hurt. I've noticed the trend with computers: what's most popular gets the most support. Simple law of economics. It wasn't always that way. Back when I was in grade school every freaking school that had computers had Macs. We all learned macs back then. The linux community is actually thinking that it may be the next operating system of choice due to the fact that the Ubuntu distribution is getting so easy to use that in most cases it's easier than windows to use, while other parts take a bit of know-how. Add to the fact that it's free, it lowers the bottom line of computer costs. In fact, many manufacturers are loading linux on their machines to get the cost down and sell more. Seriously, I don't play the victim. I chose to load linux on my machine, much like the OP chose to buy a mac. I knew my choice of OS wouldn't run everything so I dual boot. With Macs using intel processors now, you have the same choice. (And yes, to the admin who can tell which OS my browser is using, I'm currently in windows in this post) [/QUOTE]
