Really?? Have you really sunk down to the point where you are accusing 
Open Source of having some kind of monopoly on computing? Do you even 
listen to yourself saying that? Big Bad Open Source is now forcing you to 
do things you don’t want to do?

Why not run back to Mama Microsoft and she will kiss it and make it all 
better for you. You seem to be happier there, with someone to tell you 
what to do.
