Name-calling is a very effective method for spreading the idea that something is evil -- in this case Windows. Since Microsoft is so much more powerful than we are, and has many weapons that are not available to us, I don't think we should feel obliged to tie our mouths behind our backs. Contrariwise, pleasant nicknames such as "win" tend to act as support. That's why we don't refer to Windows as "win". -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
