The only real reason why you'd use windows is for asp, and games.

Many is not enough.

Now if most games can work under Linux or BSD without losing performance than I'd waste my Win XP cd faster than you can say Wine.

Well, actually, you've got the last part a bit wrong...You should have said:
"even if the prices are low, piracy will continue."
I got AutoCAD for 3 bucks at a garage sale a few years ago. I have yet to install it, I don't even know what it does.Originally posted by aphel aura
Probably the developers knows that if someone is cheap enough not to buy an OS, that someone will also not spend money on such an expensive program like AutoCAD.

No. GT uses Windows too.

Windows maybe sucks, but most of the 3rd party programs for Windows are much better than its open source counterpart. There's simply no OSS equivalent for professional software like Photoshop (comparing GIMP with Photoshop is just like comparing Notepad with Microsoft Word), AutoCAD, Macromedia MX suite, Visio etc. Of course there are good OS software like Mozilla and Apache, but almost all of them also have Windows version available for download. So, I think Windows is here to stay, for a very very long time, because what you can do in Linux or BSD can also be done with Windows, but not vice-versa.

Well, not all Windows software will work in Linux. There's are certain things WIndows do that Linux doesn't like. Plus, in almost all cases, it's slower...

Well, I'm talking aboud Word (or any other Windows native program) in Linux. Emulation is always slow.

o and gimp can be almost as powerful as photoshop 7 when you know how to use it.
