You seem to be under the impression that linux isn't open to the mainstream. Most people on this forum already knows this isn't true. No one is barred from entry into the the world of linux, not even commercial entities. The linux user-base isn't going to kiss Nero's ring just to encourage commercial software or to make you feel better. I will take your advice though, I will decide for myself. Oh, and one more thing, the name calling, stereotyping, peer-pressure statements were pretty good :)
