Is Windows Free?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Dave Gutteridge has an interesting article about Windows and the impact of pirated software on free software. I especially like this statement:

“But the look in their eyes at the mention of the word free was clear. They already had a free operating system, so they weren’t impressed by switching to something else that was free.”

What do you think?

Has your business been impacted by “free” stuff?
