One of the major reasons why I like having windows on my laptop (all my desktops are Linux) is, in addition to a wireless application that works, I can run Paint Shop Pro. The Linux alternative, the badly named GIMP software, is fairly comprehensive, but I identify with the author when he talks about the user-hostile interface. And that raises the key question: when you're in a production envrionment, when the decisions you make translate into dollars and cents (or in my case, decent issues of OLDaily), what are you willing to give up in order to support free and open software?
